There are more trucking jobs<\/a> going begging for a want of qualified workers to fill them in Ontario than anywhere else in Canada, making the country\u2019s most populous province rife with opportunities for foreign nationals who want to work there under economic immigration programs.<\/p>\n

Job Bank, the federal government\u2019s job-hunting and career-planning website, was listing 882 trucking jobs, categorized under the National Occupational Classification<\/a> (NOC) 2021 with the code 73300, in late May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) was by far the most trucking job intense region, with 494, or 56 per cent, of all of these positions in the province centred in the provincial capital.<\/p>\n

In Ontario, the median hourly wage for trucking jobs is $24 but that can rise to $32.34 per hour, reveals Job Bank. Based on a standard 37.5-hour work week, that would be $63,063 at the upper end of the annual wage scale for truckers in Ontario.<\/p>\n

But truck drivers are also often paid bonuses by the kilometre, enabling them to earn significantly more.<\/p>\n

With transportation companies desperately looking for truckers to replenish and grow their aging workforce, both the federal and provincial governments have been helping out with immigration policies to grant\u00a0work permits<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0permanent residence<\/a>\u00a0to qualified foreign workers looking for these kinds of jobs in Canada.<\/p>\n

Ontario took the lead in helping transportation companies recruit internationally-trained truckers four years ago by adding the occupation to its \u00a0Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program<\/a>\u00a0(OINP)\u00a0Employer Job Offer In-Demand Skills Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That means experienced truck drivers with a job offer in Ontario have a specific pathway to Canadian permanent residence.<\/p>\n

Applicants must first register in the OINP\u2019s\u00a0Expression of Interest<\/a>\u00a0(EOI) system and receive an\u00a0Invitation To Apply<\/a>\u00a0(ITA) before they can apply online to be nominated by the Ontario government for permanent residence.<\/p>\n

Once nominated, the next step is to apply to the federal government through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The IRCC makes the final decision on who becomes a permanent resident.<\/p>\n

Ontario is also one of the nine provinces participating in the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot<\/a>\u00a0(EMPP) which allows employers to hire skilled\u00a0refugees<\/a>\u00a0and other displaced individuals, including for\u00a0trucking\u00a0jobs.<\/p>\n
