This applies to British Columbia.
But, what ever license you have in your home State or Province will apply in all other States and Provinces in the USA and Canada and you may drive there, but not necessarily transfer the license straight across if you move.
Best resource is the local DMV office and ask them what you need to drive what you want to drive.
And now that we got Auto shifts, it will be a different ballgame again. In BC if you license on an autoshift for a Commercial license then you can only drive autoshifts.
So, you go out and take your license on an autoshift Tractor/Trailer and get your class one, and your boss has a single Axel school bus with a syncro 5 speed.
You cannot drive it.
As far as I know here in Georgia, if you have the license, you can drive it, whether it's automatic or standard-shift.
