Hi all. I have connections with a trucking firm in Surrey bc. If you have a class 1 truck licence and would like to work in Canada please contact me at my e mail address [email protected]
Earnings will be around $5000 a month but can be higher depending on the hours you put in.
Thanks all.

Hi there. Two years is usually required but 1 year can work in some circumstances.

Hi, any chance for newly qualified driver ? Also, any age restrictions?
Thanks

How newly qualified are you? See the post above from the OP, he says that 2 years Class 1 experience is usually required, although 1 year may be accepted - do you have that??

The OP hasn't been back on the forum since Sept, so you may be better off sending an email.

how often does this come round? I'v not yet made any arrangements to move to canada but would like to in the future. I've done 15 years Army and I'm still serving. I've got every licence including ADR and full CPC.
Any info?

If its temp. work permits you are asking about its all year round but the rules differ from province to province.

christmasoompa

Temp Work Permits are administered Federally, not provincially.

But the rules regarding a PNP app will vary from province to province, is that what you're referring to maybe?

This is from the Canadian Trucking HR site ,In effect, Quebec and Ontario, the Provinces with the largest pool of trucking fleets in Canada,
do allow foreign drivers into trucking but they do so only on a temporary permit basis. This
has consequences and one of them is the result that their programs do not allow the
applicants to apply for a permanent status. They also deny the right to applicants to bring
their family to Canada. In Quebec’s case, the process for the Foreign Worker’s Program
involves both HRSDC and the Quebec Government. In Ontario’s case, the process only
involves HRSDC.

The what website? Never heard of it, and if it's not the CIC website, it's not an official source.

Give that it goes on to say this -
which is a load of rubbish, I'd not use them for immigration info personally!

Really,just shows you the lies these trucking companies will tell you!

christmasoompa

Yep! Although it's true that a spouse of a trucker won't get a Spousal Open Work Permit in Ontario, it's complete rubbish that they 'deny the right to applicants to bring their family to Canada'.

Any dependent spouse or child can accompany a trucker to any province, same as any other temporary foreign worker can bring their family. Whether they can work or not is the only variable, but they can certainly accompany the trucker for the duration of his/her stay.

Ok,am I correct in saying Ontario doesnt have a PNP for truck drivers and the driver has to return to his home country as the temp. work permit has a time limit or has the rules changed .I know ON is a little different for truck drivers as I looked at going there when first looking at moving to Canada.

christmasoompa

Correct, Ontario doesn't have a way of gaining PR for a trucker on their own - however, a common work around is for the spouse of a trucker to get a job that does qualify, and then they apply for PR so the whole family get it.

Of course, that's not much use for a single truck driver, who'd be far better off going to another province!

neilcumming

Ok thanks for that,thats what I was try to search out for the orignal poster,agree better in another province
