Transport and logistics roles qualify, with one significant caveat that has nothing to do with immigration.
Eligibility
Francophone Mobility covers all NOC TEER levels except primary agriculture in TEER 4 and 5. Truck drivers, delivery drivers, warehouse workers, material handlers and shippers all fall within scope.
The position must be outside Quebec and the worker must speak French at NCLC 5 in speaking and listening. The work itself does not have to be conducted in French — which suits these roles, where it rarely is.
The licensing caveat
Commercial driving requires a provincial licence. A foreign licence does not transfer automatically, and requirements differ by province and licence class. Some provinces have exchange agreements with certain countries; others require testing.
For heavy commercial classes, mandatory entry-level training may apply before a licence is issued.
This is the part employers underestimate. A worker can be authorised to work and still be months away from legally driving your truck.
What to do about it
Confirm the licensing pathway in your province before making an offer. Factor the timeline in. Consider whether a warehouse role bridges the gap while licensing proceeds.
Warehouse roles are simpler
No licensing barrier. Forklift certification is available quickly in Canada, and the role can start immediately on arrival.
Why this sector is looking overseas
Driver and warehouse shortages are persistent, and the low-wage LMIA route narrowed in 2024 with the unemployment rule and the 10% cap.
