I don't know if I only have to apply for a work permit in Canada. The company is somewhat around the bush. First they are looking for drivers, then they hire drivers from overseas, and when I got in the picture they where somewhat around the bush. I guess they would prefer me to immigrate...

Thanks for writing. Can't help but grin about your posting. I live in the US with GC, but don't want to move over to Canada. Will Owner Operator status ease the mess somewhat or no? Immigration lawyer most likely will not be in the picture, moneywise. Can't help but wonder what the difference is...

How do drivers go about that live in the US with GC and work permit, wanting to drive for canadian trucking company, running mainly in the US? Drivers need to apply for work visa for Canada, and reside in the US? Or what is the proper way? Company hires alot of drivers from Germany, but is...

Glen, nothing is more important than your health. Wishing you the best of luck for your surgery and best wishes to you and your wife. Hope to see you around! Miko

As far as identity theft, I got a thingy in the mail, saying I could refinance my mortgage and lower my payments, due to the public records that indicate that my current monthly payment is xxx$, and my current debt is xxx$... So, what else can I do if anyone can pull anything on me??? I should...

RE: IS ANYBODY MAKING MONEY DRIVING WITH THESE GA Venom, don't tell us, we know...:( Same boat, same story. $2.61 on Monday, $3.00 today, nuts...
