Just saw I got a couple more replies on this. Thanks for the info guys!
I made it over to Alberta in late August, leaving the UK at the worst time possible as far as money goes in driving 
Currently living it up in Jasper working in tourism and honestly unsure if I’m going to get my licence here. If I do it’ll be in the new year so that I can claim it on taxes, but at the moment I’m enjoying not working 70 hour weeks living on the road haha. Certainly miss earning a good amount of money though!
