We would like to move to British Columbia from the UK but are struggling to get a good fix on which visa we should be applying for.
I'm 32 and currently work remotely as a Cyber Security Consultant (Penetration Testing) for a US company via their UK office. I'm not looking to move jobs at the moment but all the visa's that seem to apply to our situation require a job offer in Canada or BC specifically. After some digging, I saw that Canada does not require a work visa if you are working for a foreign company with no clients in Canada, but a visitor visa would only be for 6 months which wont work as I want to bring my family with me.
I also run a small LTD company based in the UK providing consultancy services which has been actively trading for the last 20 months, I think that would allow us to go down the self-employed route but I'm not sure how that would play out given I am actively employed as a full-time consultant alongside the LTD.
Is there a good option for a digital nomad-style visa that allows me to bring my wife + kids and continue to work remotely for a none Canadian company?
