I obtained my G1 a couple years before my M1. Then I got my M2. I've been riding for a few summers as an M2G1 and never bothered upgrading. Earlier this year I received notice the pic on my license needed renewal as it had been 5 years since my G1.
When I went in for the new pic at the 777 Bay St location I was told my M2 would need to be dropped and re-written as they couldn't issue a new license with a temporary classed license. After 4 hours from when I first got my number, I left, after re-writing the M1, had my picture taken and told to go to Drive Test center to book an M2 exit date (though now technically being bumped down to M1 class license holder).
Arrive at Drive Test next day. After another 4 hours and 4 more calls to hotline I'm told 777 Bay St was wrong, and issued a temporary M2 card, valid for up to 3 months. I have my pic taken again and I'm told I can book an M2 exit the following day online and can go home to receive my new license by email.
It's been over 2 months and I have NOT received my new license. I am unable to book an M2 exit by computer as I was told I would be. My temp license is expiring in a matter of weeks and tomorrow I'm going to Drive Test AGAIN, @#$%! Moral of the story: these people are incompetent, keep having to call around because no one understands the system and one ministry office interprets it differently than the next, and I wouldn't have had this issue had I just upgraded my license asap. So do it, ****ers.
