British Driver wanting to start a new life

I'm not sure how the immigration process works but here in Ontario they want you to have two years experience (consecutive) in order to transfer over your Class 1 license. We call it an A license here instead of Class 1 usually. If you don't have two years of consecutive experience with one company I think you can still transfer over your license in any other province but make sure you double check this part.

 

Non-Canadian commercial licences (e.g. A/Class1) are not transferable anywhere in Canada. So, full written and road tests are required. In Ontario, and soon to be Alberta, the minimum education requirements must also be met; 100+ hours in each province.

Actually that’s a common misconception. All you have to do is leave the US after 6 months and then re-enter. No need to stay 6 months in Canada. What you may have to do is convince a border office, by showing proof or residence, that you haven’t actually immigrated to the US.

TransX is currently recruiting in the UK and Germany, they pretty much have a "sign on the dotted line, and be driving in Canada" package setup and ready to go.
