Hi there. This is my first video of 2023. I've already went there a long time here in Toronto and we're going to talk about my driving journey here. So in the Philippines I have a full professional license. So professional meaning not a racing driver but somebody who can use driving for a living. So it's just like the same as a professional license. But anyways, it's just level one. So a short overview of the licensing here in Canada, especially here in Ontario. So there are levels for the driving, driving a car. So it starts with a G1, then to a G2, then to a full G license. A G1 is like comparing with the Philippine licensing system. It's like a student permit or student license. So you need to get this G1, then you can proceed to the next level. G2, a restricted driver's license. So there's just some limitations with regards to what you can do, what you can do not. For the G1, like you need to have somebody with you, somebody who is experiencing driving, but for a full G, you can do whatever you want. Just don't break the rules. I forgot when I shot this because it's already a long time. So this was shot last October 26, which is the fall season. It's like a couple of months ago. So long story short. You need to go to a drive test center to get your license. So you need to prepare several documents. So if you have your license in your home country, much better because it allows you to immediately take the test for upgrading to a G2 license. If you have one year driving experience stated in your license, but if you have your certificate of driving experience, which takes like a driving experience, I forgot how many years of experience you can immediately go from the G1, then do the driving test immediately through the G license. We're just pretty good. For me, I don't have that certificate. So I'm still going to go to G1 to G2 to G. So I'm going to take everything. So you need other documents also like your passport. So if you're an international student, yeah, identification should be your passport. So bring your driver's license from your home country if you have it. Test certificate. And yeah, you just need to go to a drive test center. So me, I went to Downsville Park. If you don't have your license, you need to wait for one whole year to take the test going to G2. But I think you can speed that up if you attend a driving school. So it's going to be like eight months instead of 12 months. So you need to get there early. I got there like 70am and there's already a queue outside. But I still, I'm still one of the guys who was allowed inside. So yeah, it's a bit early and that's good. It's like, it's like the normal process of getting an ID. They're going to give you a number. We're going to call your number. Yeah, don't check your documents. There's like a short medical test, like an ITES, then like a basic IQ test. They ask me some basic arithmetic problems. I don't know why. The total fee that I paid was 159.75. That includes all the taxes. So it allows you to get your temporary license, which is like a paper. Then they're going to mail you the plastic card. So I think I received it after three weeks. So you just need to provide an address for it. They're going to send it. Then after like a document's checking part and verify your name, whatever, whatever. So you go to the next room, which is the testing center. So here you need to pass this test. So the passing for this is like 80%. So it's overall it's 20 questions for road rules and 20 questions for road science. So if you fail one of these two tests, you fail everything and you need to retake it. There's like a fee of like $15 to retake it. So it's expensive and to prevent that you need to review. And here are some websites that I use to review. And good news is that I perfected both exams. So I can say that these websites are really helpful. So links in the description below. So yeah, after the exam, it's like. You're going to check if you pass and they're going to give you this piece of paper, like the temporary license after that. You can now go home. It's a bit easy. It took me like an hour to get everything. So after everything is done, they told me that when I still don't get the license within 90 days, I need to call them. So maybe I'll follow up just in case. And yeah, I cannot drive, but we're another experienced driver. So some of the reminders. So this geolicensing system, we need to complete it within five years. You need to upgrade it to a full geolicensing five years or you're going to repeat everything. You're going to take the exam again. You're going to take the road test to G1 G2 again. G2, G2. Yeah, it's a bit of a hassle. But five years is a long time. You can do it. So if you have the certificate, if you can get a certificate of your driving experience back home, highly recommend it to you get it so that you can skip the middle level. So G2 can go straight to G. So personally, I decided to go through every level because driving here is so different back in the Philippines. People here, most of them, I think 80 to 90% follow the rules, road rules. So yeah, I need to adapt. So I need to learn everything. So this is my first upload in a long time. That's because I'm focusing on studies during the last time. So I have no time to film adjusting the life here. That's great. It's great. So maybe we can upload more quickly.
