Hi:

Here is something to read in regards to your question.

Who Does Not Need One?
The following persons may drive in Florida without having a Florida driver
license if they have a valid license from another state or country:

  a.. Any non-resident who is at least 16 years old.
  b.. Persons employed by the United States Government driving a United
States Government motor vehicle on official business.
  c.. Any non-resident working for a firm on a contract for the United
States Government. (This exemption is only for 60 days.)
  d.. Any non-resident attending college in Florida.
  e.. Persons who drive only vehicles like farm tractors or road machines
temporarily on the highway may drive without a license.
  f.. A licensed driver who lives in another state and travels regularly
between his home and work in Florida.
  g.. Non-resident migrant farm workers even though they are employed or
place children in the public schools, providing they have a valid license
from their home state.
  h.. Members of the Armed Forces stationed in Florida and their dependents,
with these exceptions:
    1.. Service member or spouse claims homestead exemption (All drivers in
family must obtain Florida licenses),
    2.. Service member becomes employed (All drivers in family must obtain
Florida licenses),
    3.. Spouse becomes employed (Spouse and children who drive must obtain
Florida licenses),
    4.. Child becomes employed (Only employed child who drives must obtain
Florida license).

 Sadly you CAN continue to sue the Canadian license despite being totally
oblivious to the rules of the road here. Some folks would love to change
those rules and require also that our seasonal guests be required to have US
auto insurance so we didn't have to wait 4 years for the Canadian companies
to settle claims with the frequent accidents Canadian drives seem to cause
here. Especially those from Ontario.
