In my understanding, Most German, Japanese and US driver's licenses
can be accepted for Canadian DL.

New Ontario residents
If you are a new resident of Ontario and have a valid driver.s licence
from another province or country, you can use that licence for 60 days in
Ontario. If you want to continue to drive after 60 days, you must get an
Ontario driver.s licence.

Drivers from Canada, the United States, Japan, Korea, Austria, Germany and
Switzerland
If you are a licensed driver with two or more years of driving experience
in another Canadian province or territory, the United States, Japan,
Korea, Austria, Germany or Switzerland, you may get full Class G licence
privileges without taking a knowledge test or any road test. However, you
must meet all medical requirements, including a vision test, and show
acceptable proof of your previous licence status and driving experience.
These conditions also apply to licensed motorcycle drivers from Canada,
the United States and Switzerland. There is no exchange agreement for
motorcycle drivers from Japan, Korea, Austria or Germany. However, credit
for holding a motorcycle licence from one of these countries will be
granted for previous motorcycle experience when applying for a Class M
motorcycle licence in Ontario.

If you have less than two years of driving experience, you may get credit
for your experience and enter Level Two of the graduated licensing system.
Once you have a total of two years of driving experience, you may take the
Level Two road test to earn full driving privileges.

Drivers from other areas
If you are a licensed driver from a country other than Canada, the United
States, Japan, Korea, Austria, Germany or Switzerland, you must meet the
Ontario driver medical requirements, pass a vision test and a test of your
knowledge of the rules of the road and traffic signs.

If you have acceptable proof of two or more years of driving experience,
you may take the Level Two road test to earn full driving privileges. If
you do not pass this road test, you will get a Level One (car or
motorcycle) licence and may immediately schedule a Level One road test.

If you have less than two years of driving experience, you will be placed
in Level One. However, if you have acceptable proof that you have the
driving experience required for Level One, you can immediately schedule a
Level One road test to enter Level Two.

If you do not have the driving experience required for Level One, you will
stay in Level One until you do. You can then take the Level One road test
to enter Level Two.

A driver.s licence from another area is considered acceptable proof if it
shows you have the driving experience required. If it does not, you will
need to show documents that do.

If you do not have acceptable proof of your driving experience, you will
start at the beginning of Level One as a new driver.
