65 year old with 29 year old disabled son...what are my chances of immigrating as a truck driver in one of the Atlantic Provinces?

The title more or less sums it up. My son wants to immigrate by himself but I am worried that he will not be able to support himself (he is autistic with severe anxiety and ADHD), he collects SSI here in the United States and still lives with me. But with my age, even though I am able and willing to work...will Canada even want me? If no one here is able to answer, could someone point me to some resources where I might get an answer?

To the best of my knowledge the age cap for these programs is 55 years old. Here's the eligibility info for Nova Scotia: https://novascotiaimmigration.com/move-here/occupations-in-demand/

Your son would most likely need to immigrate independently, meaning qualify and apply on his own based on his work experience, education, etc.. He is too old to be included as your dependent.

Wuth being on SSI his chance of immigrating right now are basically zero unless he married a Canadian. If he would like to immigrate to Canada he should start by getting into the workforce and building up a work history in a skill needed in Canada like truck driving,
