Keeping non Ontario license
Ok, need to settle a wager I have with my cousin.
He has been resident in Ontario for about four years BUT has not exchanged his US license for Ontario. He just got photo card.
I have been telling him to exchange as I understand need to after 60 days in Ontario as resident let alone four years!!
His response has been that he does not own a vehicle either in Canada or US but because his work takes him to US on regular basis he needs to have US license per his work agreement. He rents vehicle through corporate account when in US [needs to drive extensively to conduct audits in various cities and towns].
Now he does NOT ever drive in Ontario; I can pretty much confirm that as I get to be chauffeur for him whenever he needs to go somewhere far for personal reasons. Company covers taxi costs for him while in Ontario for work related trips.
Have been suggesting to him to exchange license now and even refused to drive him several times.
Am I getting him in trouble if he takes my advice? Would MTO accept his explanation or not? He says it is a grey area and I say it is clear as day that needs to exchange US license for Ontario.
A full course dinner downtown is on the line!! Of course I drive.
Thanks.
