I'm 42 years of age, a Ghanaian with a valid passport and a driver by?

To get a work permit in Canada, you need a job offer from a Canadian employer.To get a job offer from a Canadian employer, you must be able to offer a skill that the employer cannot already find in Canada. Before an employer can hire someone from outside the country for a job, the employer must go through an extensive and expensive process to prove there is no one already in Canada who can take that job. When it comes to driving, that is not likely. Being able to drive is a very common skill in Canada. Even if you are talking about driving semi-tractor trucks, there are many people already in Canada able to take those jobs. Plus drivers trained in Canada and with Canadian driving experience will already be familiar with Canadian regulations. Drivers in Canada will also be familiar with the skills required to drive in this stuff: For all the above reasons, you are unlikely to get a job offer from Canada. It doesnt make sense to hire someone outside the country for a job many Canadians/residents can do. Nor is it allowed. I have heard of some truck-driving jobs offered to foreign nationals who are outside Canada - but they have all been scams. Sadly. It is so difficult to get a job in Canada from outside the country that most foreign nationals immigrate to Canada first and then look for work. Unfortunately, you have two barriers to earning permanent residence (PR). Canadas immigration criteria favour younger, skilled and educated professionals or skilled tradespeople. At 42, you may find you are too old to qualify. Plus, driving is not seen as a skilled trade.
