Husband is a dual US/Canadian citizen and we’re living in the US. Thinking about emigrating to BC (I went to grad school in Vancouver). I know he can just apply for a job and work immediately, but trying to figure out the best/quickest way for me to get a work permit. Should I move there with him and immediately apply for PR and a work permit through spousal sponsorship? Or should I start looking for jobs before we move and try to get a work permit via that route?

I’m in a similar situation. We decided to apply for PR while in the US and try to time it so that I’d get it around the time we were planning to move. If you are not planning on moving to Vancouver this year, I’d recommend this path. If you can’t wait 7-10 months, then id suggest finding a job in Canada and then apply for a work permit.
