A full day for a Canadian license conversion in Konosu

One Canadian license conversion at Saitama’s Konosu center ran like this: 09:30 — document calls begin, second floor. 12:30 — eye-test queue opens, first floor. 14:30 — license payment and a new portrait photo. Then roughly another hour until pickup. The document interview took about 35 minutes; the eyesight check took seconds. Those are one applicant’s timings, not a guaranteed schedule. Canadian licenses are exempt from the knowledge and driving checks, so neither was part of this day. For the document review, book online with all the required papers ready. Keep the actual confirmation email accessible on your phone: Saitama requires the reception number in that email and rejects screenshots. The interview is in Japanese; bring an interpreter if you need one. Bring an accepted cashless payment method for the fees.
