    I was looking into finding a sponsor. I've been trying to get on with some of the large mining equipment companies up here that operate internationally, so a guy could eventually transfer out of the country.

    As with everything else in Canada, i'm sure it's a joke. I just hope it's not more of a joke than everything else i've wasted the past 15 years doing :(. The property tax is already insane! my townhouse went up 200% since 2014, the first company I got laid off from in 2015 (i've been laid off 3 times in 2 years), my career dream job, their prop tax went up 400%. It just didn't make sense to try anymore, so they shut down and moved to Texas.

    I heard there is a big push in Australia, to start letting in migrants, refugees and express entry immigrants. I know one of the big Australian youtube vloggers I used to watch, was trying to talk everyone into it, and shame anyone who was against it. Any word on that?

    I doubt it, Australia is smart enough to watch how these programs are ruining other countries and running trades and businesses into the ground. The only people that can come here for work on a visa without a sponsor have to be under 30, and even then they're only picking fruit
     
    AModelCat and BigHossVolvo Thank this.

    WTF are you talking about, "open border policy"

    The USA has about 20 million illegals, try and get into Canada. lol

    I bet that 20 is more like 30 so pretty much the population of Canada in illegals and yet he sees us as the problem. Now that's what you call "special"

    I was in Brampton, ON making a delivery last week (I am US driver). I was doing my paperwork when a young foreign driver came to me asking if I could help him unhook his trailer. I said sure and looked everything over. It turned out he had an air release 5th wheel that the driver didn't know to operate. But we all need to learn, but hooking/unhooking is one of the 1st things you learn.

    I am looking/have been looking for a Canadian carrier that is involed with the TFW prorgram. I have 40 years experience running all 48 states, as well as Canada from the Maritimes to Edmonton (I even made a tanker delivery to Manic Cinq), with a great safety record and on-time deliveries.

    Can anyone recommend a Canadian company under the TFW? I don't work cheap or drive unsafely. Plus I fit in with the Canadian culture (I actually enjoy winter and can handle Quebec shipments).
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a deep appreciation for Canadian humor (humour). I always enjoyed SCTV, John Byner and especially Royal Canadian Air Farce. I also enjoy being left of center (centre). ;-)
    I truly love Canada and going there and would enjoy living there.

    You should be admitted if for no other reason than you know how to properly spell words. :)

    However, I don't think Americans qualify for the TFW program.

    You don't need the TFW program, just apply for a straight up work visa. I know at-least 5 American drivers who moved to Canada; and all they did was apply for a Visa. When the Visa ended, they got Permanent Resident Cards. Be warned tho, moving here and living here is expensive!
