You have to take a test. Only a car license is a straight swap. You swap your car license then apply to take the Class 1 and air test.

Re: alberta and hgv requirements
 

Not sure if you missed it, but in response to your last post you were told that most Canadian companies will want a few years Class 1 experience. As it seems from that thread you have only just passed your Class 1, you might need to work in Europe for a few years first.

HTH.

Most companies want a minimum of 2 years experience and the ones that don't, you wouldn't want to be working for anyway.

Re: alberta and hgv requirements
 

I'm confused, told by which 'company', do you mean a trucking company or some third party? Don't know what the truckers incentive is, but do make sure you don't pay any money to anybody to find you a job.

Good luck.
