    Ok, this is a little complicated but bear with me...

    I'm hoping to head to Toronto later this year on the Usit work visa and have to consider the possibility that I might need a car for work etc. At that stage I will have had my full Irish licence for just over 1 year. I am investigating getting a Canadian licence.

    According to the above link I would be able to do a G1 road test immediately and would then be issued with a G2 licence with no restrictions.

    My question is about surrendering my Irish licence: If I do this and I get a Canadian licence will I run into trouble when I get back to Ireland and need an Irish licence again?

    From oasis.gov.ie I see that you cannot exchange a Canadian licence for an Irish one, would this mean that I'd have to take my irish test again?
