However, both of those methods don't come from the IEC, the IEC has no bearing on it as you still need to gain a job with an employer who has an LMIA or the employer direct method (Only in MB) and this can be done from the UK as easily as it can be done on tourist holiday in Canada, the IEC itself doesn't contribute to your ability to apply or stay, nor is it factored into it in any way. So the IEC he is on is one thing, but in order to stay he has to look at a totally separate method.

The only way the IEC itself can help with permanent immigration is if you working a skilled occupation while on your IEC and then apply for express entry, as that counts as experience within Canada but that skilled occupation has to be one that gives you points in express entry and trucking is not one of them.
