There is always some chance. But it is generally difficult to find employers who are willing to go through the LMIA process.

Make sure you are prepared to be in Canada for at least 8 months without working (i.e. have enough savings to cover your expenses for a minimum of 8 months, knowing that Canada is an expensive country).

Also be prepared for the fact that you may not be successful and may need to return to your home country without securing a work permit in Canada.

If you have a LMIA, then you apply for a closed work permit. A G license doesn’t allow you to drive trucks. You need an Class A license (Ontario).

I think you will struggle to get an LMIA as you (or your employer) need to prove that you are not depriving a local of a job. Getting a G License is not a very high bar
