The CAA guy was on the radio today and his contacts in the US said that this was an oversight. The law is mainly so police officers can read the driver's permit eg. Spanish, Chinese etc. The law was passed Jan 1 2013. It is supposed to be amended but that will not be until the summer and
Canadians will not be required to have an international permit.
The recommendation is to decide for yourself whether you want to take the very small chance you will have a problem or you may purchase an international permit at CAA however you will need 2 passport id photos.
We have decided not to purchase the international permit.
