Canada Offer (Sort of!)

I would suggest holding off for a few months in to next year to see how things pan out. All the firms here in NB are up in arms now, acting the part of the injured swan because they can’t keep the low industry standards of pay and conditions propped up with convenient foreign labour any more (poor them!). I know some firms are not being able to get new LMO’s for drivers who are already here and their current TWP is about to expire, so guys from the UK/Europe already here are on the verge of having to go back and there have been no new arrivals that I know of since this all kicked off. My last company have just cancelled an order for 4 new trucks because they can’t get foreigners to drive them now. When asked why they won’t train local Canadians, there is lots of coughing and spluttering and the usual nonsense I used to hear in England back in 2005 when I was a freshly qualified local trying to get a job shortly after the doors were opened to the Poles etc.
