Canadian jobs?

I think you need something called a labour market opinion from canadian company willing to hire you, which says they can't find enough canadians to do the job.

 

You do know how cold it gets in AB? like -40, seeing your from FL LOL

 

Go into the Canadian section of the forum and ask a member called PrairieBoy. He is very knowledgeable about Alberta and the oil patch. I think he's been in that line of work for over 30 years.

 

If you are a U.S. veteran there is a fast-track process for a work visa. I don't know any details, just that it was announced some time ago.

 

There is nothing wrong with hauling water. It is perfectly honest to goodness legitimate work.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

If Canadian immigration policies are anything like US policy then you've got a long road to hoe.
You can't just go up there, apply and get to work. I can only surmise that obtaining a work permit is a long road and time consuming if they will accept you in any event. Countries no matter where have tightened up on allowing foreigners in unless you have a particular work skill. Truck driving is not one of them. IMHO many if not most natives of any particular country are clueless about their immigration criteria. As I'm from a European country and not a US citizen, I think know something about immigration and what a hassle it can be. Moving to a foreign country is not a walk in the park.
Not to mention the severe wintry conditions you will endure up there. Something else to consider.
Maybe there's an avenue for foreign truck drivers to emigrate to Canada and that getting a work permit is a piece of cake, but don't bank on it. You're being very naive if you do.
There's plenty of good paying jobs in the USA if you care to spend time and look.
good luck
