My wife's cousin wants to come for a visit next summer.
Does he need to do anything special regarding his motorcycle license?

What about the reverse, if I travel there with my Ontario GM license?

An international driver's permit might be advisable.
Site below is for Canadians going abroad. I'm sure there's an equivilent in Germany.

Not even IDP as long as he's staying less than 3 months lol

If you are a visitor to Ontario and want to drive while you are here, you must be at least 16 years old and have a valid driver's licence from your own province, state or country. If you are from another country and visiting Ontario for more than three months, you need an International Driver's Permit from your own country or you may have to apply for an Ontario driver's licence, depending on your length of stay. You should also ensure your automobile insurance coverage is sufficient, and that you carry the original or a true copy of the vehicle registration or Certificate of Title for your vehicle.

Welcome to Ontario, where licenses come from Cracker Jack boxes

dont hate, its true. when you spend like 2000 euros to get a drivers licence, chances are you will respect it more and drive better.

Everybody will suck compared to German drivers! Tell him, at least we are better drivers than Italian drivers.

The people in Europe are taxed way too much, though on average they understand skid control, and such better than
most here.

I am not so sure that's the case. Italian riders and drivers (that I saw) are nutcases, but they're generally predictable.
