so, do canada want truck drivers or not

[pauldbrady]

Hi all.
i've read loads of adverts for canadian haulage firms looking for british truck drivers, but when i look at the cic web site truck drivers are classified as a skill level c, apparently not enough if you want to be a permanent resident.
Am i doing, or reading something wrong.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
Paul.

Truckers are entering under the Provincial Nomination Program in Alberta, Mantioba and Saskatchewan, They find an employer in these provinces who is willing to hire them and then submit a nomination under the various PNPs http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/provnom/index.html
