Manitobia companys taking on uk drivers

I have a brther in Toronto who keeps telling me to move to Canada, I’ve been driving for 3 years and in my early 50’s…maybe too late. Kids are grown up over here (UK) and I quite fancy a change, suppose my question is. What are the employment options like? We (the wife) and I can settle at my brothers to start with and he has offered to sponsor us. Would it be better to get paperwork sorted before applying for work or will I still need to go through the newby stages of working for a canadian company?
Also I agree there should be more diary type entries from Canada. :smiley:
