How are the heavy truck drivers demand in Canada? Is it possible to avail a Canadian PR with a UAE heavy truck driving license?
It’s actually pretty good. Provided you have a certain amount of experience and a clean abstract.Though truck driving is generally considered an unskilled profession as far as Federal immigration classifications are concerned, industry groups in Canada are pushing the federal government to change this. The problem is Canada’s truck drivers are getting old. They’re retiring faster than companies can replace them and young Canadians aren’t taking up “life on the road”. People talk about driver -less trucks and new technology but that’s literally at least a decade away. There’s already a shortage in pretty much every part of Canada and that’s only expected to get worse over the next few years. . Getting a PR as a truck driver is unlikely under Federal immigration rules but it is quite possible under Provincial Nominee Programs or immigration projects like the Atlantic Immigration Pilot project.You’ll find that just about all Canadian trucking companies have online job applications and they accept applications from just about every country in the world. Apply to some of those and they will give you more information and may be able to help you with the process.
Which license is required for operating construction equipment like excavators, 'JCBs', cranes, etc.?
As per the provisions of MV Act, 1939 (as amended during 1988 & 1994 & 2001) there are now just 5 classes of vehicles under which a driving license can be granted. Now let us try to understand which all vehicles a holder of LMV license can drive: A holder of LMV license can drive all on road vehicles which have gross laden weight (GVW) or regd. laden weight (RLW) not exceeding 7500 kgs., and the vehicles which do not fall under the categories motor cycle without gear or motor cycle with gear or invalid carriage. Such vehicles constitute and include, LMV motor cars, LMV goods and passenger vehicles, 3 wheeler auto rickshaws, road rollers, mobile cranes, backhoe loaders & excavators, tractor trailers, all const. equipment vehicles (tyre mounted), etc. May be sounding complicated and confusing. Yes - but that is the law. To drive vehicles having transport vehicle regn. (commercial vehicles), the driver should have transport endorsement (having limited validity of 3 years) and to drive passenger carrying vehicles, the driver should have a PSV badge. What constitutes a "transport vehicle" as per the DL issued by Union of India? Here "Transport Vehicle" actually means heavy motor vehicle (not be mistaken or confused for transport vehicle as defined for commercial vehicle regn.). A holder of "Transport Vehicle" license normally mentioned in the driving license as "Transport Vehicle" or "TVEH" or TR. VEH or TRV by different state govts. can drive all vehicles having gross laden weight (GVW) or regd. laden weight (RLW) exceeding 7500 kgs. Such vehicles constitute and include all on road vehicles & regd. vehicles, viz., MMV, MGV, MTV, MPV, HGV, HMV, HTV, HPV, road rollers, mobile cranes, backhoe loaders & excavators, tractor trailers, borewell rigs, crop harvesters (tyre mounted), tippers, all const. equipment vehicles (tyre mounted). May be sounding even more complicated and confusing. Yes again - but that is the law as prevailing.

Can I immigrate to Canada as a truck driver?
Let me answer this while trying to be respectful - but your chances of doing this are just about zero.Being a commercial truck driver in Canada is not a skilled position - it requires no specific status or training beyond passing the test for the license. There are many Canadian Citizens and existing Permanent Residents who have this licensing, or can get it easily because of their previous work experience. There is presently a downturn in the oil industry and most likely a surplus of people with these qualifications. When they do get jobs, they tend to be contract positions, time-based, or seasonal. They are rarely permanent positions.So it is very unlikely that you will get a job offer from a Canadian company to work in this capacity, despite your commercial license and experience in a foreign country, and then acquire the status of being a Permanent Resident.You will then have to spend 4 of 6 years in Canada as a Permanent Resident before applying for Citizenship, and only then can you apply to join the military. There are no age restrictions for applying as long as you can receive your training before you are 60, but the older you are, the more difficult it would be to meet the physical requirements. In terms of education, you need a 10th grade education equivalent to apply for the most basic role, with higher educational requirements required for specific assignments. Applying for entry as an officer would require a university degree from an institution recognized by the Canadian Government.I would venture to say that your aspirations far exceed your credentials. Not only are there a lot of commercial truck drivers in Canada, it is easy to retrain to be one in a relatively short time. Seven weeks of daytime classes, or ten weeks of evening classes. And that would be accredited training from a Community College in Canada. While your training and experience may be very good, it is difficult to sort the quality and honesty in foreign credentials and experience.
What is the best way to find a job in Dubai?
Do you want the truth? None of them. Unless of course your job profile is so unique that the employer cannot find or locate a person of your skill or calibre.Keep this much in mind - at the end of the day these Job Sites are in existence ONLY to make money. They do not care if you are the right candidate or if the client is happy - They are interested in making their money because they need to cover their expenses. And they exist to make money.So if you have the normal-run-of-the-mill job profile, then either you will never get called or if you do get called - they will employ you in droves - that is only if a company is starting from scratch (Hotel or Large Establishment).And over there - they will always go for the cheapest and best deals - which is why they normally employ people from Asia directly from agents.My suggestion to you is either check Gulf News or go through references. Thats it. And the ONLY way you will get a worthwhile job in the Middle East is through Contacts (or as they call VASTAA) in the Middle East.Please do not bank your hopes on Job Sites as 90% of all the jobs advertised are either Fake to collect Resumes for their Resume Bank or just to show the public that they have a massive demand for jobs.After all - they need to keep the ball rolling right?Loy Machedo

Can I get a job from Nigeria in Dubai and what type of job?
It depends.Why would I hire you? Do you have any special skills that I can't find in Dubai already? Do you have unique talent that will fulfil my business in a way that no one in Dubai can?Coming to Dubai is a huge cost, staying in Dubai is a huge cost, so it is a big risk to come here looking for a job - if your financial situation is tough.Going to another country to recruit is a cost for the Business, they have to send a recruiter, pay for their travel, hotel, food, pay to the recruiter partner in that country, pay for the person to fly over. They can eliminate a lot of recruitment cost. So there really has to be a great need for them to go outside and recruit.The second option is to wait in Nigeria - When requirement demand goes up, the bigger organizations send their recruiters to all sorts of various countries to recruit for specific skills. Could be a big equipment operators, truck drivers, even people in hospitality, mechanics and few other roles. It depends on specific positions they are recruiting for and specific skill sets they are looking to hire.Your best chance will be to keep an eye on the newspaper for companies recruiting in the Middle East. UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar etc etc. BUT also be careful, some of those recruitment companies also try and scam people. They might charge you a fee and tell you they will get you a job. At the end, the only thing that you can count on is an actual offer letter from the company that has interviewed you or through friends who have used an agency to get a job in the GCC.Good Luck
