You will have to pass your truck driver licence (called class1 in Quebec), there are many good driving schools which offers this program. The salaries are 50000-70000 a year, the best trips are Canada-USA

However, drivers who want to pass their class1, must have 3 years of canadian car driving experience. But the car driving experience of the following countries is accepted:

Germany
Austria
Belgium
France
Great Britain: England, Wales, Scotland
Japan
Netherlands: Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles (St. Maarten, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Eustatius and Sabat)
Republic of Korea (South Korea)
Switzerland
Taiwan
Turkey

So a person who have a car driver license from one of these countries can immediately pass the class 1 and drive a truck.
