So what visa should I apply for. Vancouver BC or Ottawa or Toronto Onterio are the areas I'm looking at.

If you want to work then find an employer that will give you an LMIA then you can get a work permit.
If you want to visit then you need a visitors visa, visitor cannot study or work in Canada.
If you want to become a PR try the Economic stream: Provincial Nominee, Federal skilled worker class, Canadian experience, Express entry, etc
So maybe I am being picky but the OP assumed to be Irish passport holder so visa exempt for visits plus can study 6 months or less without a study permit but of course cannot work on a visit.kapatid said:
Apart from the eligibility link in previous post see where jobs skills are in the NOC database as really need to be classified as 0,A or B http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp
Given the OP is still only 30 even a working holiday could be an option but with a wife and 3 kids who could not be part of that application it would be a big commitment as a look see with no guaranteed outcome so probably not a risk to take http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/eligibility.asp

You and your wife should look at both applying for IEC. There are a lot of spots open, so chances are very good that you would both be approved for work permits.
