Changing jobs on a lmo
Hi was just wondering if anyone has changed jobs on a lmo? We hubby came here on a Lmo in Jan as a heavy duty mechanic and he is thinking of a total job change to driving. He is doing his class 1 & air Brakes. He had his class 1 on his uk licence but had to hand that in. Has anyone changed jobs or know anyone who has?

Re: Changing jobs on a lmo
Hi
1. Well he would have to find an new employer, who is will to get an approved LMO and then he would have to apply for a new work permit, before he could start work. I assume he has at least 2 years previous experience of long haul trucking, if not he might it difficult to find an employer.
2. His occupation would drop from skilled to semi-skilled and depending on the province, you would not be entitled to a spousal work permit for up to 6 months. If it is your intention to remain permanently in Canada, you should check the province you are in to see if there is a PNP program for LD truckers.
