Why is it so hard to become a trucker in Canada now?

Cracker04:
Another big reason is probably something to do with a major accident last April,where a super b collided with a coach full with a hockey team in humbolt Saskatchewan,killing some of them,and the truck driver was a foreign driver.

April 6th 2018 was the Humboldt Broncos crash , sadly 16 perished and many more suffered life changing injuries , the assistant team coach Mark Cross was from my village and died at the scene . The new test requirements do stem from that tragic accident , and not before time . Driving standards are way below par , especially with our East Indian cousins who have flooded here in recent years . Nothing to stop UK drivers coming here , the costs have increased and LMIAs are few and far between but it’s still possible for those determined enough .
