CDL without a HGV
Ok forgive me if i seem like an annoying kid (Being 19 im sure i am alot younger than most of you :P) but i am just eager.
From my other thread it got me thinking, would it be possible to go to Canada on a holiday visa, pay the $2k dollars and get a CDL without ever having a HGV here? Then apply for companys even though i would have 0 experiance.
I see the experiance as the biggest hole in this plan however i found this:
http://www.bigfreight.com/company_driver_entry.html
With a CDL would they pay for me to come over and start working for them under that system?
Again forgive me I Don't mean to annoy any of you, after reading some of the other peoples posts :O (Hugh, Robbie(I think that was on this site)) Some people are so...Well i wont get into it, but yeah help from all you guys would be great.

Re: CDL without a HGV
The only problem with having no experience is when it comes to jumping through hoops in order to stay over there.
You wont qualify for provincial nominee programmes without a certian amount of experience, which varies...... although if its Manitoba youre interested in, a minimum of 6 months is all they ask...however you've still got to get a job there and meet all other criteria.
And, I'm pretty sure that Big Freight job you posted, would only be open to landed immigrants and Canadian citizens, and not a way of getting you into the country.
Edit: I think its Saskatchewan who only require 6 months experience, not Manitoba. sorry.
