I was already a full permanent resident of Canada before I ever changed jobs so I don't know about the process while still on a work permit. My family were already nominated for PR status before we left the UK by the province of Manitoba.
I am not sure why you are asking about short haul? If your ultimate goal is to to a job that would never have qualified you to come to Canada in the first place thats kind of playing the system isn't it?
Loblaws are recruiting turnpike drivers out of Regina, Saskatchewan. Maybe you would prefer that?

Oh sure. Glad to be able to help.

That being said, I do not agree with foreign workers being brought into the trucking industry in Canada. There is no "shortage" of truck drivers in Canada. Trucking in Canada has a super-high turnover of employees surpassed only by the fast-food industry. Foreign drivers are being used to suppress wages in trucking in Canada. It's possible that in general the foreign truck drivers may be smarter than the pool of domestic dolts so that may be a good thing but only if the smarter foreign truck drivers fight for better wages and working conditions in Canada.
The PNP and the TFW program have been thoroughly abused by trucking companies in Canada. In some cases qualified and experienced domestic truck drivers have been forcibly removed by treachery (constructive dismissal, harassment, etc) to be replaced by foreign drivers who can be treated like slaves due to the conditions of their work status. It's a trucking company manager's dream!Prairie Boy Thanks this. -
Very well explained Runaway.
In 2005, there were 610,000 Class 1 drivers from there 20's to 60's that no longer drove in Canada. I pointed that out to Ed Bradley when he lamented that we had a shortage of 52,000 drivers. He asked, "What should we do"? I replied to pay them and maybe some would come back. -
the main reason for me wanting to re-locate to Alberta is a better standard of life for myself and my family definitely not to deprive any Canadian of a job,i am a regular visitor to Canada to holiday and watch the hockey so after many years of pondering we have decided to try to make the move,as for ENGLAND ," last one leaving ,,turn the lights out "
I hope this goes some small way to explain the thinking of and the reasoning behind so many foreign (British) drivers looking for work in Canada ,seanPink Lady Thanks this. -
There's a reason why carriers have to "import" foreign truck drivers from halfways across the world>take a moment and see if you can guess why. Even WalMart who is one of the mosted hated employers doesn't have to "import" workers from halfways across the world! See where I'm going with this?
I'll give you a bit longer to see if you can figure out WHY an employer would have to source employees from halfways across the world when Canada already has a high unemployment rate, -
or messicans in us, etc, etc..
in theory im opposed to importing labor to drive down costs, cuz thats what its aboot, its not aboot filling seats, but in practice it doesnt bother me cuz im not interested in working the job youll get when you arrive. Once youre here awhile and can get a better job, good on you cuz the ppl here had the opportunity for that job and didnt go for it
this industry has too many sitting around waiting/wishing for a real shortage so they can get a raise, thats the wrong tactic, instead make yourself moar valuable, and youll make moar money
i wish i could make $400/day driving to tejas and back, but i cant, so im doin something else....
and the $4-500/day jobs cant find enough drivers -

On the other hand it is costing me & my family somewhere in the region of $5000 canadian for solicitor to ensure all papers are correct, lmo and p r application is correct ,then there is the cost of re-locating, flights, container shipping etc so we estimate at best we are looking at $10,000 canadian minimum !! other than changing my hgv licence over and the cost of my flight only (not the family) and possibly a little re-training we have to pay everything else ourselves,which in my opinion is absolutely correct !! If you want do something in life then get off your #####* and earn the money to be able to do the right things for your family,and again in my opinion leaving england for a fresh start in a country we all love to visit is the right thing to do ! i'll miss the football though and of course the mother in law !!! lol
