Ontario has reciprocal licence exchange agreement with other Canadian provinces, Canadian Forces-Europe, USA, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium and Great Britain.

Since Great Britain is part of this agreement and your husband has 2 or more years of driving experience within the last 3 years, according to the Ontario Government run DriveTest site, www.drivetest.ca, he may get a full class licence privileges without taking a knowledge or road test.

He will however have to pass a vision test and show acceptable proof of previous licence status and driving experience. So it does not appear that he will need to go through the graduated licensing process. For more information about exchanging driver's licences from another country contact DriveTest either online or on the phone at 1-800-387-3445.

Your husband can ask DriveTest or the Ministry of Transportation if he must turn in his British licence to receive his Ontario, Canada licence. Likely he will, so he might ask if there is a way to exchange back the licences when he goes back to England.
