Exchanging Canadian drivers licence
Dear Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency,
I have moved to UK from Canada last week on a dependent visa. I have a dependent visa for 4 years. I have a Canadian full driver's licence. Can I exchange it right away or do I need to wait 185 days before I can do so?
Yours faithfully,
Az
