You can choose what you do on IEC, it’s really just an open work permit.
Your problem is your UK licence is no use here, you have to retake your test. It’s very easy although some provinces have now put additional requirements on hours of training that will make it expensive so choose a province still using old rules to test out in.
Theres no real call for class 2. Maybe in the bigger cities theres a little bit of local p&d stuff but that’s a very limited market youd be lucky to break into. You will certainly need class 1 to have any realistic chance of working here, but if you could be bothered to get yourself licenced you’d have no problem getting a job.
