The times I have told guys not to use the companies that charge huge imigration fees ! .... If they really want you they will really help you by just putting you intouch with the canadian imigration authority's. You will save a few grand and not line the pockets of greedy agencies that you don't really need. .... ALL THOSE AGENCY"S ARE RIPPING YOU OFF.
It will only cost a grand or less if you find a good company.
When I first came to the states Covenant wanted about $7k to help me, I eventually found a company who put me through the test for $20
I paid my own imigration fees and they came to a lot less. I know it's not Canada but I have lots of friends in Canada who have been through the process for a fraction of what the agency's ask .... Don't use them and don't let them use you to get rich.

I have no intention of spending MY money (would be willing to part with the wifes) for something that I can do myself.
The problem is there are the main/well known trucking companies who wont entertain you unless you go through the firm they employ to empty you wallet.
Exactly as BW states there ar companies out there willing to take you on if you do the research right!
I still have time and I am just soaking up the info for the mo, but its all good stuff
Everyday is a school day!
