If you rode or drove in the US, SOME insurers will let you submit a US record to prove you have a clean insurance record - this happened to my wife, who is American.

But if I'm reading your posts right, you mention you were in a different country entirely, so I don't think this will apply to your particular situation.

It's not just riding experience they look at. They also want individuals to be insured year after year with no breaks in between. For example let's say you were riding 2012, full insurance coverage and you decide to not ride in 2013 only. You cancel insurance, and when 2014 comes around, you decided to get insurance. You'll be surprised with an increase in rates.

Actually, this practice is illegal (http://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/en/auto/autobulletins/archives/Pages/a-06_97.aspx). To avoid any issues, make sure you get a letter from your insurance provider that you're discontinuing insurance on good terms, and not because of being dropped for non payment or something.

There is no defense for this. No "experience"? How does $6300 become the right number? An industry audit would expose huge foul play.

He left Canada when he was 12. He doesn't have any experience on Canadian roads. How much clearer can I be?

It's an 850 cc bike if I recall. He's 22 driving in one of our largest and most convoluted city.

$6300 is because he is a liability in their eyes. Right or wrong this is how that see it.
 
Did you talk to the insurance company letting them know you were a cop and have taken a police course for riding? any little could help.

Of course I let them know my experience, doesn't matter to them whatsoever. As long as it is outside of Canada and the US, its not counted.
