Hi, and welcome to BE.

Not many companies with LMIA's at the moment, but if you search the forum you'll find mention of one or two, and there's a thread in the Job Offers section from Gladstone Transfers too.

As for money, this thread may be useful - http://britishexpats.com/forum/canad...canada-735341/ Bear in mind it's quite an old thread, but it should give you some useful figures at least.

HTH and best of luck.

Not many trucking companies hiring foreign drivers at the moment due to the rule changes and the economy has gone a bit tits up due to the drop in oil prices.As a result of that alot of drivers got laid off in the oilfields in Alberta .
Do you know what province you want to go to?
Canada is expensive ,I think it cost me about 10,000 pounds to move here and that was just with my son.
