Sorry I have to agree with Gremmie - when you emmigrate a lot of work is involved, from resaerch to planning to - well everything.

NO-ONE has it all done for them and unfortunately you are coming across as a person who wants that. (You state in your first post that there may be a company online that could "sort it all" after just an email.

First place to go would be the CIC website (not sure but I think that may be up to date )

We all had to do it, and the majority of us asked specific questions to clarify points that we didn't quite understand.

One big piece of advice "People help those who help themselves".

Your father will need to speak GOOD, not pidgeon English. I've used the links supplied on here & E mailed/phoned the companies I'm interested in.

He will need to do a recce trip to attend interviews at his/your own cost. He will need money to support himself before he starts work.

Many Eastern Europeans I meet on the road are no problem, some are a pain in the ass, many are thieves (they take all the toilet fittings from the showers in truckstops for example). The common misconception they all have is that we (the English) are rolling in money. We're not. Eastern European companies have really ****ed our international transport market by cut throat rate cutting. With many Brits already in Canada he will need a thick skin. If he has a good job already he is better off staying where he is.

I hope this is simple enough for you, although not what you wanted to hear.

Gremmie

Spoken like a true Britt and rascist eastern Europeans steel the bog seats, and no britt trucker ever trashed a bar or truck stops amenities wake up pal britts are just as bad as any other,if not worse.. Eastern Euro companies screwed up the international transport market, come on pal Hungerocamion, Pekas, CSSA and god knows what they were all called,we tried blaiming them for every thing 25 years ago we were wrong

Gremmie:
You have just shown the zero knowledge you have of European transport. I have spoken the truth from sometimes bitter experience.
Go out into your garden, dig a hole, then climb in....


"I speak my mind,if you dont like it,dont read it"

RING ANY BELLS???

Gremmie

Why should i dig a hole You tar all East europeans with the same brush,which is rascist. ive seen more damage done by Britts than any other nationality, which ive wittnessed... Britts trashing a bar in Irun SP. Fights at customs in Aosta IT, Near riots at the Sealink shipping desk in Calais, britts arrested in marseille, the only ones that came close were the Dutch
9 times out of 10 if you were broken down the East Euro drivers would stop and help not the britts

Well hi all, go easy on me my first post!!! I have done alot of research and been reading all the post on trucking in Canada. Finally went to the Emigrate Expo in London early this year for some good advice i would say.
There a few Company's which names pop up for being good and i kinda get the processes involved and what to do. The main question really is why has no body gone owner driver, or why hasn't any body advertised to go as a double man team.
As for running my own haulage company in UK with trip ranging from deliveries to St Petersburg Russia and weekly runs to Slovakia Ive had ups and downs like most haulage contractors.
I would love to here upto date info on these company and good advice wouldn't go a miss, planning a recce in july/aug to Calgary. Cheers guys and gals

Gremmie

I know of 1 one Brit that has gone O/O since gaining PR status and he seems to be doing OK thus far. As for team driving,well its not for everybody,and bare in mind they run 24/7 here for 10-14 days or more its just non stop, no nights out to see and do something just go go go.
