Hi guys
I'm currently trying to get over to canada as a tower crane operator but getting a bit confused about the various licences. I want to make the move to Ontario due to the amount of work for tower cranes around the greater Toronto area and having been in touch with a few operators in toronto there seems to be plenty of work. However as I need to go down the LMO route and need a job offer first I'm trying to figure out can I accept a job offer and go over and start working for a few weeks or months until I get my licence switched over to a canadian one or should I go over to Ontario for a few days and sit the 339b test first?

Also can I go straight for a red seal exam with out having to sit the 339b exam?

You might want to also consider going to one of the Provinces where Tower Crane Operator isn't regulated.

You can see which ones here - and also wages, outlook, training requirements etc.

I would suggest looking at the red seal website and seeing what hours you would need to challenge http://www.red-seal.ca/s.2.1rchr.2s....crane+operator
