Richmond, B.C., considers banning Chinese-only signage

[1overcosc]

Wait, BC lets Chinese immigrants use their Chinese licenses to drive indefinitely?

In Ontario, immigrants have to surrender their home country drivers license when they get here. If they're from Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, the UK, or the USA it can be exchanged for an Ontario license 1-2-3.

From anywhere else, including China, you have to take a road test.

And that road test has to be taken in either English or French as they are the only languages offered for the service. Meaning if you're a Chinese immigrant who can't speak English... you can't drive.
