With the recent changes to the license conversions. Can someone please let me know if I can convert a Canadian driving license to a local Qatari license?
Also, can I use my Canadian license to rent a car while waiting for my residence permit?
Thank you, brit for the complete information on the website: "SOME foreign driving licenses are recognized in Qatar, and can be converted into a valid Qatari driving license without any additional driving tests." - Nowhere does it say WHICH foreign licenses!

The best option is an International Driving License (if you brought one)
The other option is a Temporary Driving License -

Did you get one answer that said:" Yes, you can do it."? And if so, why didn't you do it then with that person who had said that?
Well, that's cool. I guess they don't know what they are doing. Welcome to Qatar.
I did, I was there today, I got different answers.
So, what's next? Give them a call or go there. What do you think?
Hi Wild Turkey, I did, but got no straight answer. The website states that some countries are exmpt but doesn't show a list.
Have you tried the Traffic Department? What did they say?
