The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) for Ontario, Canada has restrictions in place for both G1 drivers. The restrictions list for a G1 license does not include driving out of the providence or into the United States to the best of our knowledge.

We advise you to contact the MTO about driving into the US with a G1 however we did check with a representative from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for more information on this topic. 

One representative of the MTO stated that the G1 license is a learner's permit and as such, only meant for practice driving in Ontario with a licensed accompanying driver present at all times. A novice license is not considered to be fully licensed for driving.

However MTO rep. went on to say that once you are outside Ontario, you are subject to the laws of the jurisdiction you are traveling in, not Ontario's laws. The rep. also noted that you should check first with the licensing authorities of the province or state about the validity of Ontario novice licenses there BEFORE you travel out of the area.

We contacted the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV) and the representative stated that you can indeed drive in FL with an out of state learner's permit or junior license such as your G1. You must have a fully licensed supervising adult over the age of 21 in the passenger seat though at all times if you have only a permit and follow the restrictions with your type of GDL license or permit.

The FL Highway Patrol also stated that they will honor a Canadian G1 or G2 Driver license. This Florida law enforcement agency noted that if there are any restrictions impacting your Canadian License, they would apply in Florida as well.

If you want to get more specific information about what restrictions you may have on you to drive in Florida with your G1 from Ontario, Canada check with the FL HSMV.
