Canadian CDL to US CDL with Green Card

I am going through this myself and I am a US citizen with 35 years living in Canada operating in US and Canada with class 1.
I was told Texas would require me to take all the training, re test and perform drivers exam....
Even though there is full reciprocity.
I'm hoping this is not true?

 

I was at the DPS office and spoke to the front desk and was told I would be granted a Texas CDL for my Canadian Class 1.
I showed up for my appointment and the case officer said I would have to start from scratch to get my Texas CDL, but it did not add up to me.....
I am a dual citizen, born in the US.
Any help would be appreciated

 

To get a green card or (LPR) in the US is not so easy, gone are the days when people simply boarded a sail boat bound for the land of milk and honey to be welcomed with open arms, now the sign says the door is almost always closed so don't bother even knocking. There are basically six ways to get a green card but all involve some kind of sponsorship, (1) A close relative can petition on your behalf USCIS form I - 130 (2) An Employer can petition on your behalf USCIS form I - 129, (3) Self sponsorship through investment you will need to invest at least $800 000 in US dollars in a Regionally approved Targeted High unemployment area and create at least 10 new permanent jobs, or alternatively invest outside of these areas with a minimum of $1 050 000 is required but creating the 10 new jobs will still be conditional on getting your green card. File USCIS form I - 529 (4) Self sponsorship if you are a person of extraordinary talent in the fields of arts, entertainment, education, science and sport use form I - 129 same as employment sponsorship. (5) Government sponsorship through the DV Lottery every year the US government grants about 55 000 persons the opportunity to apply for an immigration visa, all then need to do is register between October - November of each year, have at least 12 years education or a recognized qualifying trade and be from a country that still qualifies for the DV lottery, unfortunately Canadians don't qualify for the DV Lottery, the following year in May results are in if a person is picked they can then file the DS - 260 immigration online application (6) Government sponsorship of refugee's don't think Canadians would qualify for this one though.

 

Did they let you switch it or did you take the course?

 

Can you please post what you ended up doing?

Thank you @Chinatown I tried calling them but there was no answer.

 

I went to a couple of DPS offices. The first one told me they would exchange but it would be downgraded and I would have to start from scratch for the CDL. They also told me to keep the canadian one until it expires.

None of the companies I contacted would hire with a canadian Cdl.

I went to another one they said I could transfer it and gave me 3 different forms. I scheduled for two weeks, (soonest available). When I went on my appointment time they took everything went to their manager and told me they wouldn't exchange CDL.

 

Can you legally work there? They should’ve if you can
