chapter 9 — your licence ICBC-approved driver education courses  driving tip driving tip New B.C. residents  147 It’s best to apply for your B.C. driver’s licence well within 90  days of moving to British Columbia. New residents who hold  a Canadian, American, Australian, Austrian, Dutch, French,  German, Japanese, New Zealand, South Korean, Swiss or  United Kingdom licence can usually complete their licence  exchange the same day. For more information, check with a  driver licensing office.  You’ll need to provide proof that you are licenced in another  jurisdiction. In most cases, your previous driver’s licence is  enough. The class of licence you held, combined with your  driving experience, will be used to decide which class of B.C.  licence you will be assigned and what tests you may need to take.  You may use your valid driver’s licence from another province,  state or country for the first 90 days you live in B.C. After this  time, you must have a B.C. driver’s licence to drive in B.C. You’ll  need to turn in your old licence and pass the applicable driver  tests.  If you want to apply for a  full-privilege B.C. driver’s  licence (Class 1, 2, 3, 4, 5  or 6), you need to prove  you have held a licence  for at least two years and  present this proof when  you first apply for your  B.C. licence. Otherwise,  you will be placed in B.C.’s  Graduated Licensing  Program. If you hold  only an out-of-province  learner’s licence, you are  eligible to apply for a  Class 7 or 8 GLP learner’s  licence.  Call ICBC or check with a  driver licensing office for  more information. Temporary Foreign  workers in the Seasonal  Agricultural Workers  Program who hold a valid  licence from another  jurisdiction are not  required to hold a B.C.  driver’s licence to drive  in B.C. for a maximum of  one year before being  required to obtain a B.C.  driver’s licence.  Students from outside our  province don’t need a B.C.  driver’s licence to drive  here if they are attending  certain universities,  colleges or other  educational institutions. Some driver training schools offer ICBC-approved courses  for new drivers in B.C.’s Graduated Licensing Program. These  schools display a valid Driving School Licence from ICBC with  a GLP designation. Approved schools are also listed on ICBC’s  Driver Training and Assessment Standards website  dtcbc.com .  ICBC-approved GLP Class 7 driver courses feature at least  32 hours of instruction and include classroom and on-road  instruction.  When you successfully complete an approved GLP course  while in a GLP learner stage, you’re eligible for a six-month  reduction in the novice stage, as long as you have no violations,  prohibitions or at-fault crashes during the first 18 months of  your novice stage.  High school students successfully completing an approved  GLP course can receive two Grade 11 credits by taking  their Declaration of Completion to their secondary school  administration office.
