Default BC to AB licence to work the rigs

So I just got offered a job in Alberta starting off as a lease hand on a service rig. I have all the credentials, attitude etc. except for my licence. My Irish licence isn't transferable to canada, so I had to start from scratch. Got my L, now have an N. The N is a class 7 but I need a class 5. I can't take my full licence till June of next year. I know I'd pass the test easy it's just the wait that sucks.

My question is, can I go to Alberta and do a road test/trade in my N for an Alberta licence? To get this job I need to be up there with the licence by the end of the week.

call an Alberta registry office and state you holds a drivers license from Ireland and wants the process to drive in Alberta

You shouldn't have to wait a year

I had family friends moved over and it worked for them

why phone a alberta registry unless you "live" in alberta. with an alberta address.

Not sure why the wait ??? can you get a class 3 instead

Ugh I hated working service rigs not my ideas of fun but hope you do well at it

And as others have said call either Service BC or ALTA Services both can answer your questions
