Hgv Driving Course.How much ? and where ?
 
Hi i am a Bus Driver in the uk.I do not have a hgv licence but will be looking to go on a course in Canada.I would consider going to Nova Scotia but i can go anywhere to take my course.
Once i pass how easy would it be to find work as i would be a new driver ?
but i have been a Bus driver for 5 years.
If anyone knows anywhere and how much i would be looking to pay ?.Thank You.
I have no problem with a visa as i have pr

Perhaps you would get more response if this was moved to the trucking forum. Doubtless a Mod will move it for you in due course.

I did my canadian driver training in Winnipeg,I think its still $75 an hour,Ideal Driver Training ,the owner has a deal with Transx to supply drivers ,there is another company called Buffalo dont know anything about them.Arnold Bros Transport have driver training school ,I think you have to sign up for x amount of yrs to do the training ,they dont do LMOs but if you have the PR no problem.They are all in Winnipeg so pack the long-johns !

But you don't have PR any longer unless you have lived in Canada for 2 years out of the 5 since you landed - you said you had to land by September 2010; you would have needed to move to Canada by September 2013, at the very latest, in order to retain PR status but it would appear from your posts that you are still in the UK.
