    Calling on all truck drivers.

    Here's what I know so far. The easier way into Canada for people like us is through the Atlantic Pilot Program and select the intermediate skilled option (which trucking comes under). The requirements for this is 1,560 work experience in the last 3 years, in the field you're applying for. So in...

    Calling on all truck drivers.

    I can't get PR without first having a work permit and to get a job I need a job offer. It's really a catch 22 situation, kinda like when jobs want you to have experience but to get experience you need to do the job lol. The job offer is literally part of the PR application process so there...

There is a shortage of truckers which means there isn't enough Canadians to fill those positions so of course...

    Calling on all truck drivers.

    I'm 32. The LMIA shouldn't be a problem as there is a shortage of truck driving jobs so I'm confident any employer trying to hire a foreign truck driver has already experienced the difficulty to trying to fill the job with a local Canadian. I think there are something like 500+ current...

    Calling on all truck drivers.

    Hi, first time posting and I'm losing my mind with frustration as everywhere I search there seems to be conflicting answers so I'm hoping to hear from someone who's actually done it. On one hand you have the people against immigration who'll say anything to turn you away and on the other you...
