Have telecommuting job with US company - moving to BC
«

Not sure if I would qualify under the business visitor program or not. I am a US citizen looking to relocate to BC. I work for an American company (work from home - telecommute). What would be the best way to move to BC? If I am able to go in as a business visitor, what are the challenges of moving my household items across the border? My husband is a healthcare professional & once he gets a job up there it would fall under NAFTA and then after 3 mos can apply for PR through provincial nominee program.
We are trying to figure out if it is better to try to move with me having a job already with my company since I telecommute or whether my husband should try to get a job first so that he can get a temp workers permit and we can move that way. I guess I am also confused about actually "moving" since we would obviously want to move all our household furniture/belongings through a moving company...and I am curious as to whether we would be prevented from moving our stuff if only relocating as a business visitor. Any thoughts or ideas for us would be greatly appreciated!

Do not assume you can move to Canada under any kind of visitor status. It would be better if your husband goes first to find a job and gets a work permit.
