can a Canadian get a new York license?

hi ! I live in Montreal and I am an often visitor in new York state . my question is can I make a u.s.a. license in n.y.? I do not hold an Canadian license , and don't have one at all , can I make a DL in n. y. as a Canadian visitor ?

No. You need an SSN to get a driver's license. You can only get DL where you live.

but here in Canada its minimum 12 months the procedure and I need one now . in NY its a few weeks , any idea how I can get a DL a.s.a.p. ?

How long have you been living in Canada? You should have started the process sooner. Sorry.

just turned 21 , and didn't wont to drive before

Now you know.

so do u know maybe if there is any way to shorten the 12 month period ?

It's 12 months for a reason, no?

so u r trying to say that the Americans r born with better driving skills then the Canadians because the Canadian law require 12 months and the US law doesn't?

No, I;m saying that Ontarians are notoriously lousy drivers.
