A lot of people dream of working in Canada as the country is very welcoming to immigrants. Of course, there is the small issue of getting yourself over there.
Now, some people can afford it, others can’t. But with the ever increasing immigration application fees, foreign nationals could always use some financial help.
Luckily, companies in Canada today sponsor visa costs for international workers with plans to work over here. This article will shed some light on jobs available in Canada that come with visa sponsorship for foreigners.
How do I get sponsored to work in Canada?
Every Canadian company that desires to engage a foreign worker must first get an LMIA or submit an electronic job offer.
An LMIA or “A” number (electronic job offer) obtained by a business can be used to apply for a Canadian work visa.
Can I move to Canada as a driver?
You may move to Canada as a truck driver without a specific visa, but there is something called the TFWP, or temporary foreign worker program, which allows firms to identify and hire individuals outside of Canada.
How can I find driving jobs that sponsor visas in Canada?
You could always look for job adverts in journals or publications.
Then there are job listing websites like LinkedIn and Glassdoor that constantly provide information on job openings.
Here are some available driving jobs in Canada that come with visa sponsorship:
