Hiring Now: Delivery Driver Jobs Needed Across Canada – Full Visa Sponsorship & Relocation Bonus
Canada’s e-commerce sales are still growing at double-digit rates, and every province is short of local delivery drivers to keep parcels, groceries and medical supplies moving. To plug the gap, courier firms and last-mile contractors are offering LMIA-backed work-permits, free visa processing and relocation bonuses of up to CAD 2,000 to qualified overseas recruits
Benefits of Working as a Delivery Driver in Canada
- Competitive pay right away – job ads in 2025 list hourly wages from CAD 22 to CAD 26 (≈ CAD 46 k–54 k a year) plus overtime and tip pools
- Employer-paid visas – licensed carriers file the LMIA and cover work-permit fees; many also refund airfare after you finish probation
- Relocation perks – Amazon DSPs, Purolator subcontractors and regional food-delivery fleets offer first-month housing or a cash relocation bonus
- Fast path to permanent residency – Saskatchewan’s Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot, B.C.’s Entry-Level & Semi-Skilled stream and Atlantic Canada’s AIP all accept delivery drivers, letting you apply for PR after as little as 9–12 months on the job
- Low English bar – TEER 3 roles need only CLB 4–5; a short interview is often enough if your schooling was in English.
