Hello, I have been running my own light haulage business since 2008 and I have also had my HGV class 1 for 16 years. I appreciate that I'll have to obtain my Ontario driving licences should I come to Canada, which I am prepared to do.

We are looking at moving out to the Ottawa area where my brother lives and is a permanent resident and has been since 2008.

Is there anyone that can offer some advice how I achieve a written offer of employment in the driving or transportation sector?

I have submitted my resume to some driving agencies but seem to be hitting a wall

Thanks in advance.
Ceri.

Hi, and welcome to BE.

Don't forget that you'll need more than just a 'written offer of employment' to get a visa, you'll also need the employer to apply for a LMO for you (to prove they have advertised the job across Canada and been unable to find a Canadian willing, or able, to do the job). Once you've got your job offer letter and LMO, then you can get a visa.

Not heard of anybody gettting a TWP for trucking in Ontario but other provinces such as SK or MB seem to be where most head, so maybe consider expanding your job search? And the trucking forum on here is well worth a read too.

Good luck.

Hi i have just had a quick look, thank you very much i have got plenty to read on.

Probably not a good sales pitch if you're looking for a job in the driving sector.


Good luck
