    Hello Newbie here!

    Theres probably a section here I have missed but Im hoping you could help out please.

    I am a 38 year old male who drives a HGV1 in the UK and Im wanting to come and do some trucking in Canada to a) see if I like it there and b) If I do consider moving myself and my family out full time.

    Are there companies that would sponsor me with this? What exactly would be involved in the application process? Does it take a great deal of time and money to sort out?

    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    There's not a driver shortage in Canada so only the bottom feeding companies that hard working Canadians won't work for are having to import truck drivers from half way across the world.

    Study this: www.cic.gc.ca. You will find there everything you need for your emigration to Canada, as well as work permits.

    google H+R, or H&R and blogs

    theres like a dozen or so people that came over from europe that put up blogs with blogspot, 95% of the blogs are negative to the experience.

    most of the guys that came over that i met felt lied to and couldnt wait to get their papers so they could leave the company that sponsored them.
