Info on moving to Canada from USA?

Hello,

I took a look at this Canadian Visa website and am doing research on relocating to Canada as a driver from the USA. I don't know if I will follow through on such a change but am looking into it.

What other options for work visa and/or citizenship via cdl or other methods are there?
Has anyone on this forum tried such a process via that website or other method?

From what I understand Canada needs drivers but not many people want to move up there for whatever reasons. Obviously I know Canada and it's citizens have problems like anywhere else so I'm not expecting an easy transition to some ideal place.

However I don't mind the cold winter weather here in NY state and I prefer the wilderness, countryside and small towns over sub/urban areas. I have limited snow/ice driving as most roads are plowed relatively on time and I've only occasionally driven in a few inches of snow with both Class A & B trucks without snow chains.

Besides browsing the internet on my own, does anyone have any recommended websites/tools/forums for such a relocation effort?

I am studying a variety of maps of the region such as weather, climate, temperature, demographics, etc as some of the natural landscapes and wilderness areas interest me anyway as a hobby project.

Alaska and the Far North are too cold and treacherous for me so Southern to Mid Canada seems the obvious choice for now but since I don't like chaotic city driving areas like Toronto, Montreal etc are not of interest to me so that would rule out city P&D jobs as regional and local would be my focus or OTR as a last resort.

 

You may be right.
I was aware of the taxes and recent convoy protests.
I don't want to be an ice road trucker lol, just some regular driver.
I prefer colder weather and need to get further away from the greater NYC metro urban area.

 

Yeah lol just like in other places in the world.
Or people who moved into the NYC metro area because to them it's better then where they were, while to some people here like me it's a nightmare.
What else is new.

 

You may not have missed much. More abandoned buildings and malls and some roads only just recently got repaved after 30+ years.

And "Crusty Curmudgeon" - yeah that's what the HV turned me into, lol.
