New licensing accreditation helps military members enter New Brunswick workforce
Active and retired members of the Canadian military living in New Brunswick and holding a Department of National Defence (DND) 404 driver’s licence may obtain an equivalent New Brunswick commercial vehicle driver’s licence without additional training or testing. The new measure, which is effective immediately, was developed with the support of Helmets to Hardhats Canada, a non-profit organization that partners with building trades organizations across the country as well as provincial governments to provide career opportunities to veterans and serving reservists.
