Driving in Canada from UK.

You might get better answers by posting this in the Canadian Drivers forum located at the bottom of the main page.

 

Also I think your about 15 years too late for the good old days of moving to Canada and driving. Many expat’s still here doing it but many have gone back. Everything I see now is not too impressive with regards to immigration and driving. I’m sure you’d have to go through a lots of hoops then you’d be competing with the “eastern type immigrants”
My advise would be to look at what your doing over there and get into a specialized sector of driving. Still plenty of really good paying jobs over there

I came from Germany 14 years ago. Many things changed in the meantime.
Regarding your driver's licenses, you got it quite straight. The schooling programs did change in that regard. What the exact way is, I honestly don't know.

Yes, you need a LMIA. That's your basic status. Without that, you theoretically can't open a bank account.
As a British citizen, you might enjoy some exemptions under The Crown.

 

Trust me. There will be no exemptions under The Crown.
