Driving — ride-hail, delivery & logistics in 🇨🇦 Canada

A full local licence is one of the fastest routes to steady income — but conversion rules for Nigerian licences differ enormously by country.

⚠️ Before anything else — Canada: Open work permits and PR allow self-employment; employer-specific (closed) work permits generally do not — check your permit conditions. Rules for licensed trades vary by province.
💰Typical earnings: CA$18–25/hr delivery · CA$20–28/hr ride-hail (before expenses)
⏱️Time to start: Days (bike delivery) · 2–6 months (car, with experience letter)
To do it legally:
⚠️ Watch out: Bring an official driving-experience letter from Nigeria's FRSC before you travel — getting it after you've left is much harder.
