LMIA's

A friend mentioned H&R in lethbridge were advertising in the UK press this week looking for victims to take up the lmia's they currently have. McConnell in Woodstock NB allegedly have some. Never heard much good about either place but maybe they'll work for you, I'm sure there must be others around the Maritimes, I'll keep my ears open for you.

 

ugh

 

I thought Canada has closed it doors to long haul drivers coming in from overseas

 

I must of Assumed wrong I thought the days of coming to Canada as a temporary foreign worker in the long haul trucking industry had ended 'and for companies obtaining lmia's was impossible .

 

It's not impossible but there are much tighter rules and higher costs involved now so few companies bother to stay in the program. But if someone really is determined it's still doable

 

But I also assumed that since the oil sands starting slowing up that lots of Canadian drivers have gone back OTR .

 

So only H&R and possibly a few others are still able to obtain lmia's

 

I just saw a H & R ad in a British trucking magazine. So they are still advertising at least.
I don't know what they pay drivers, but they only offer $0.97 per mile for o/o's so it's crazy cheap there.

 

Which magazine ???
