Hi guys,
I want to immigrate to Canada as a truck driver. I have many years of experience, I'm 43. My last few years of experience are on self employment so I don't qualify for RNIP program....
I've been doing some research, but it's all confusing and complicated.
Perhaps someone could explain what options I have?
- I know the NOC code was recently changed to 73300 and truck driver's are now considered skilled workers, right? What does that mean? Does it mean that I can apply to any PNP or federal program for skilled workers?
- What are current programs for truck drivers, federal and provincial? What are the best and quickest in processing?
- Is it allowed to apply for Express Entry, some other federal program and PNP at the same time?
- I spoke to one truck driver who got his PR thru MB PNP. He says he got a job offer in MB (not LMIA, but just ordinary job offer), than applied for MB PNP, got the nominee within a month or two, than applied for Express Entry and he did it all while still in his country and than he went to Canada. Does that sound right?
- So the job offer for PNP program doesn't have to be LMIA?
- Can I apply for MB PNP of I don't have any family connections there?
- I also heard that I can't apply for PR programs while I work on LMIA TWP, is that correct?
I will really appreciate if someone could put some light on it and help me understand how it works and what options I have.
