Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. My family and I are at very early stages of the immigration process.
I am an engineer with management experience and my wife is a GP, we are looking at moving to British Columbia but not Vancouver. So would we be better moving forward based on me as the main applicant or my wife.
Any other advice you can offer for the early stages of the process would also be much appreciated.

Many thanks

If you're applying to Express Entry, the nature of your careers doesn't really matter, it's whichever of you has the most CRS points based on level of education, language test scores, work experience, and age.

If you are looking at provincial nomination programs with focused careers or you'd like to apply for jobs, that's where you have to do a little bit of job hunting and research, and your careers might matter. Depending on the province, GPs and engineers may have licensing requirements. Not familiar with BC, but you can do a bit of research.
