Hello, my wife and son are Canadian (dual actually - US & Canadian) and I am just a U.S. Citizen. It's been a goal of ours to have us all move to Canada for some time now. We decided to do this, but are wondering what the best path would be. We have up to five months before we are going to move, that is if I don't get a job offer before then. (I am currently applying and realize that I would have to have a special permit for any type of work in Canada if I was hired right away) But if that doesn't happen, we were wondering if it's better to apply for permanent residence now, and then in five months, I should have a work permit and then I can look for work right away. Or, since we are both in the US now, we should just move to Canada and apply then. Just ride out the time until I get a work permit and then look for work. We just want to know what would the best route be, in terms of my ability to look for work as soon as I can.
Any help would be appreciated.
