Hei vain kaikille, nimeni on Juha Kylävainio, 28-vuotias Porilainen. Olen ollut jo vuosia kiinnostunut Kanadasta, ja suunnitellut hakeutuvani töihin kuljetusalalle ko. maahan.
Koitin netistä etsiä infoa muutamista asioista, ja nyt pitäisi ottaa yhteyttä Kanadan konsulaattiin täällä Suomessa. Ajattelin kuitenkin ennen sitä tutustua Suomalaiseen kulttuuriin Kanadassa, ja mikäs sen parempaa kuin olla yhteydessä Suomalaisiin Kanadassa.

Ensimmäinen asia mikä mietityttää on ajokorttiluokat, ja se kuinka arvokas Suomalainen kuorma-autokortti (BC) on Kanadassa. Käsittääkseni Kanadassa isoja kuormureita/rekkoja ajetaan korteilla joita on eri arvoisina, Class 1-5 riippuen tietenkin provinsseista.

Toisena asiana olisi hintataso eri asioissa, vuokrat, ruoka, yleisesti eläminen jne.
Kuinka paljon keskimääräiset vuokrat mahtavat olla, ja paljonko tarvitaan budjettia/kk pelkkään elämiseen?

Kolmantena ja ehkä tärkeimpänä asiana: Kuinka pitkä ja kallis prosessi maahanmuutto ja työllistyminen mahtaa olla? Lueskelin netistä että rahaa tarvitsisi varata 4000-8000 dollaria elämän aloittamiseen maassa. Kuinka paljon on mahdollista saada valtiollista tukea Kanadasta ja Suomesta?

And same in english:

Greetings to you all, my name is Juha Kylävainio, 28 years old male from Pori, Finland.
I've been interested about Canada for many years, and about working in logistics in the country. I tried to look for info about few things which are a little unfamiliar to me at this point. The next step is to contact the Canadian embassy here in Finland, but i thought that it would maybe be best to contact Finnish people living in Canada first.

The first thing that i'm unfamiliar about is driver's licences, and particularly how valid Finnish truck licence (BC) is in Canada. I have the impression that you drive trucks etc with driver's licences which are classified in classes 1 through 5 depending the province. Which class does the Finnish BC-card includes to?

Second thing is the price of things: Rent's, food and general living expenses etc. How much is the average rent of apartments? How much does living cost per month, average in Canada?

Third thing: How long and expensive is the immigration process? I've read that you'll need 4000 to 8000 dollars to get started living in Canada, is there any possibility to get national aid from Canada or/and Finland to help getting started?

I've visited canada.ca for immigration information, and the only thing slowing me right now is the IELTS-test, but i think that i'll nail it ;D
So if any of you have any ideas or advises, i'll be very grateful :)
Thank you for your time, sincerely yours, Juha.
