2. Get Your Canadian Driving Certification
Through United Transportation Driver Training, SLT helps newcomers earn the licenses and skills they need to become professional drivers in Canada.

They provide plenty of mentorship as well to ensure that you are comfortable and safe on the road.
3. Live and Work in Friendly, Affordable Communities
SLT’s headquarters is in Blumenort, Manitoba (Near Steinbach which is an RCIP community).
However their businesses are also located in Brandon, Manitoba (another RCIP Community!) and Red Deer, Alberta. All of these locations offer affordable living and welcoming communities. As well, they are also close to other small communities where living is even more affordable.
It’s a great way to avoid the high cost of living in a major city while building a career.
