you cannot drive here on any lisense other than qatari. my advice is to bring the internation DL for the first few months (not sure about QP giving a temporary DL, could be a true) , till your RP is issued, and then you will convert your canadian DL into qatari DL in 10 minutes, having an eye test prior to it.
