Answer 1

When you immigate to Canada or even move from province to province, each province requires you with in the first 3 months of permenant residency to have your current licence turned into one from that province, you would have to talk to the provincial ministry of transport as to the legal issues about a out of country drivers licence, I know people who come here from the U.K and Australia and rent cars and are able to use there's, so to be sure make the call, as a tourist you can and in the time limit it allows get the licence transfered over, for your own protection and insurance is a issues when you do, some provinces have a plan(s) governed by each area.
