Hi everyone,
My name is Chau, i am from VIET NAM. I graduated Bsc. Biotechnology 4 year ago, i also had 2 years working for a foreign company as consultant aquaculture. I just quit that job to concentrate my time and effort to study English. At this time, my English reading skill equal to 6.5 point of IELTS; listening, speaking and writing equal 5.0. @@
Since 2007, I have had a license for driving heavy truck class C that equal to class 3 in Canada. So I would like to come to Canada in 2 years to become truck driver that can give me opportunity to do my favorite hobby (driving truck is my love), travel abroad and improve my English skills.
After several days i look for informations, I have some unclear question:
1) how can i exchange my license to meet the require of employer? As i know that, i must do exam to get class 5 in first 3 months. But how can? if i still not have class 5 in my hand, do the employer willing to give me LMO?, and in the time i wait for new license, any policy to help me to live at that time???
2) if employer decide to hire me, they will wait for the time i apply to get Work Permit and Visa, will they??
Please someone help me to clear about that, i dream to get class 1 license in Canada ^^, i love to be a trailer-trucker driving a long nose truck in a long road ^^
Thank for your time,
Wait for your help,
Regard

I may be wrong, but the way I see it here in Ontario:

1. Pass G1 written exam
2. Pass Full G road test (if you qualify to skip G2)
3. Pass the AZ test

Once you're a qualified AZ truck driver, there are many job openings.

It might also be helpful if you have a valid US visa, since many AZ truck drivers drive Canada-USA routes
