You may be able to begin a policy with your Canadian license but most insurance companies would require you to get a US license first, in this case from Chicago Illinois, within a short period of time for the insurance policy to remain in active.

To get more information on how to obtain an Illinois State license, you may check with the IL DMV. It is noted there that motorist moving to Illinois may use their valid driver’s license from their home state or country for 90 days.

You may get an Illinois driver’s license or identification card only if you are becoming a legal resident of the state of Illinois. If you have a valid driver’s license from Canada, you may use it to drive in Illinois throughout your stay (if you do not plan to become a permanent resident of this state). Plus, the state of Illinois does not recognize the international driver’s license (IDP).

Illinois law requires all cars that is operated and registered in Illinois to be covered by liability car insurance. One way this law is enforced is by an individual being issued a traffic ticket and convicted in court for driving an uninsured car. Once The Secretary of State for IL is informed about your conviction the license plates for the vehicle will be suspended.

Penalties for first time offenders is a minimum $500 fine for driving an uninsured car. If you are operating a car while the registration is suspended for no insurance you will receive a minimum fine of $1000. Since you were found driving without ca insurance for your vehicle in Illinois, the first thing you should do is obtain car insurance for that car.
