7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

After much faffing around I'm starting to get my head around the PNP process and was just looking at the NOC list headed '7511 Transport truck drivers'

Example Titles
bulk goods truck driver
dump truck driver
flatbed truck driver
logging truck driver
long haul truck driver
moving van driver
shunt truck driver
tow truck driver
transport driver
truck driver
truck driver, heavy truck
truck driver, tractor-trailer

Would all these titles be eligible for applying through PNP?, that can't be right can it?
Also, under 'employment requirements' I read;

:eek:,please tell me that's not correct...:eek:

I think(manitoba) its noc 7411c Long distance truck driver .
only for a TWP. cant speak for other provinces.
meaning that your journeys must be inter provincial .
you can be trained in a accredicated school , that means you can claim 60% of cost of training back on taxes at end o yr.
some guys do a wk or so course and some do more
imo i paid for my own an did a 6wk course ( i could afford it )
was 2wk driving plus class room rules regs canada /usa,
log book regs, chains etc.
i was road ready to go ,lol ,i had 25+ yrs driving in uk /euro..
nb. company i was going to had uk drivers before and they only did 2wk course and had to take then of road due to rules /log book probs.
lots of strange rules over here and if you are stopped at a scale and somethings wrong with logbook etc...no mercy shown just because you are a new start.

hmm, i got that list from an Ontario link so perhaps it's specific to them..
I have just over 25 yrs too now uk/euro/ireland, but if there's a lot of new stuff to learn suppose it's best not skrimp on the lessons.
Wonder if any companies will pay for a six week stint???:)...

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

I have heard of companys paying training but its usually on the job double team for wk or two.as you need to show experience to get lmo,twp.
As you know after 25yrs driving we have all picked up bad habits :rofl:,,my main ones were elbow on door,,hand on gearlever..

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

There's no trucking option under the Ontario PNP, it wouldn't be possible to get PR there from a TWP.

Most PNP's with a semi-skilled stream for truckers are for a specific NOC code, but if you can prove you do the majority of duties under that NOC code, then it doesn't matter if your actual job title is one of the ones under the 'related' list.

Although as jamesmc said it's usually long distance truck driver (7411) that qualifies for the PNP.

HTH.

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

Where did you find that information??, I went through the Wiki link to Options Ontario and didn't spot that :blink: I arrived at the list above :confused:

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

as above no pnp for truckers in ontario

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

looks like I might aim for NB or NS instead then :unsure: , although I apparently have a distant relative near Oakville ON, perhaps I should call by one day and say "Hi, remember me?, lovely to see you, where's my bed?"...:D

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

remember Nb & NS are know as low wage regions for truck drivers . better wi SK<MB,AB.

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

I know I'm going around in circles now but I've just looked at Winnipeg as an alternative. Wikipedia says;

"Winnipeg is ranked second for Canada's clearest skies year-round, sixth sunniest city year-round, and second for sunniest city in Canada in spring and winter".

:thumbup: sounds great, but then I read...

"Tornadoes are not uncommon in the area,...A Fujita scale F5 tornado struck Elie (just 40 km (25 mi) west of Winnipeg) in 2007; this was the strongest tornado ever recorded in Canada".

:eek::blink::frown: somebody somewhere is sticking pins in my doll!:sneaky:

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

Dont always believe what you read...Manitoba is the size o great britain plus the islands so what happens in one area you wouldnt know 50mls away.
We were half an hr ish away when that happened (holiday /job interviews) and ya didnt know till it was on news ,,well sky was black .

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

OMG!!, are you serious?, Manitoba alone the size of UK?:eek::eek:, isn't that mad! :D thanks Jimmy, you're by far the most helpful person on this community website :thumbup:...

er, here's just another question that you could probably answer...I used to do night trunking to Bellshill a lot and there was a truck stop on the A74 Northbound just before you start dropping down towards Hamilton.
I can't for my life remember the name of the place and it's driving me nuts trying to remember it :blink::blink::blink: ??? ......

Happendon lodge,and was there one at Blackwood.
lol aye its a big place ..you dont say you are going 50mls for shopping(big mall)
you end up saying 45mins etc.. hour an a half tae w/peg etc .(not 90mls).
im told most folk in MB. live less than 150mls from USA border.
only 1.2million in the province. and majority live in w/nnpeg

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

...er, no I don't think it was Happendon lodge or Blackwood, it was a real grotty little place about 30mins short from Hamilton with pot holes the size of Canada :D, I think it began with a 'Q' and was just one word... I used to drop full trailers there and take an empty back for Iceland Frozen Foods...
Never mind, It'll come to me just as I'm not thinking about it I'm sure :D

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

...er, wasn't he a racing driver!? :D , I'm being silly!, no it def wasn't Red Moss,...I've just done an AA route finder search from Carlisle to Hamilton and the name jumped out right away! 'Lesmahagow'. I don't know were I got the 'Q' from, perhaps there a quarry there and that confused me :thumbsup:...

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

duh never went for the obvious!!

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

Hi Jimmy / Gazman,

Happy New Year!

The truckstop at Lesmahagow was called the "Star" IIRC tho I it's closed down now.

Re: 7511 'example titles' all okay for PNP???
 

Oh dear! :D ...I did enjoy my trunking to Scotland though, I used to listen to some nutter called Scottie McClue on the radio :D...
And heading home after midnight in the snow I often could see nothing other than this! :eek:,

::thumbsup:, yeah I know, it took me a long time to get used to the Scots' accent too, :D I remember calling at TNT in Bellshill one evening around 97/98 when the summer had been unually warm in Scotland. I asked the yard manager...

"What do think of this nice weather we're having Tam?"...

His reply; "It's driving me f@#!ng Crazeeey!!!, all ee neeerd ee $spfff of sprigin $rrtuurrrr eey int!!! :blink:...

Nicest people you could meet though :thumbup:, or least they were to us Welsh nutters, we used to head from North Wales to Hamilton or Glasgow for the weekend, a right gang of us sleeping in an old Ford Transit,...and they thought they themselves were nutters until they met us! :thumbsup: fond memories!...

Thanks for that Donnelly Farm...I like that quote "satisfying and pleasant place to work, for our employees.”...will keep an eye on that. I really want to settle near either coast, so could end up west if the right opportunity turns up...:thumbup:
