U.s.cdl In Canada

will my cdl work if i move to canada? in 6 months my daughter graduates from high school and i should be working. i would like to let out my house and move to canada . what will be required for me to work there. i assume it will be treacherous driving up there but they do it every day. it will probably take more training but i am not in a hurry. this has been my dream to live there,if only for a couple of years.

Not sure of the Canadian rules for Class A cdl but if you do a search for Canadian Ministry of Transportation you should be able to find what you need

Yeah I don't know a lot about it myself. I would guess you would need a Canadian driver's license if you're going to reside there but I really don't know anything about the process.

Thanks guy jax i will investigate.

Any canadian drivers out there.

Have you done any research into what is required of you to work in Canada? A lot of people think that it's as easy as moving to a foreign country and just walking right in a applying for a job...it's not..they have immigration laws the same as the US, and if you think WE feel sore about foreigners taking our jobs, how do you think it's going to feel when YOU are the foreigner?? Now don't get me wrong, Canadians are some of the most laid back, polite people in the world, but they have unemployment issues same as anywhere else..like I said, do some research..and your US CDL , won't be valid there if you are living there...you will have to either transfer it or, start over..just remember, most of the "foreign" workers you see in Canada come from territories that are part of the Commonwealth..that confers on them certain rights to travel and work within other Commonwealth countries...but US citizens don't have those rights...OR they Immigrated, which means they give up their citizenship...

Good point roadkill. lol. i think i'll just take this a little slower. still taking the tests on this site. i've got my score up to 93, but working toward a 98. brett keeps making me answer the same questions until it sinks in. i made a graph of the psi loss that helps a lot.
