Heavy equipment operator training in Nunavut Canada is somewhat limited due to the number educational resources available. Your best option would be to either contact a construction or mining company and ask them if they offer an apprenticeship or general laborer position. Tell them you would like to learn to become an operator and ask their advice on how to train to become one in their company.
Because of the competitive nature of this career. Highly skilled candidates have the advantage. I recommend researching the programs at the Arctic college to prepare you for the mining industry.
Heavy equipment operator training courses in Nunavut
At the Arctic College there is an introductory mine training course available. This isn’t a heavy equipment operator training course per se but it will provide you industry training that will help you if you plan to be an operator in Nunavut or the Northwest Territories.

Once you have received your introductory mine training degree, you are now ready to contact mining companies directly to see if they offer an apprenticeship or on the job training. The Meadowbank gold mine is one of the larger mines in the area and would be a great place to start. For contact information of more mines, reference this full list of mines in Nunavut on Wikipedia.
