Yes, you can legally drive a friend's car in Canada provided you have their explicit permission, hold a valid and unexpired driver's license, and the vehicle is properly registered and insured in Canada. Under Canadian insurance principles where coverage traditionally follows the vehicle rather than the individual driver, your friend's active auto insurance policy acts as the primary coverage in the event of an accident. However, it is vital to verify whether your friend's insurance policy restricts drivers or requires occasional operators to be explicitly listed on the policy to avoid potential coverage complications during an unexpected claim.
