Wanting to move to Vancouver, BC. Need info.
Hello,
My family has decided to consider leaving England to start a new life in Vancouver, BC. We consist of me, my wife, my son who is 21 and 2 dog's. I have had 20 years experience as a Plumber and have all my certificates up to date. Any information would be fantastic as we are still a little clueless.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi there, merson08, and welcome to the BE forum. I recommend the following Wiki articles:
Skilled Trades
Getting into Canada quickly
Where to live
Beginner's Guide to Canadian Immigration
Vancouver - albeit there are other nice places in British Columbia as well, e.g., Vancouver Island, the Okanagan Valley (Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton, etc.), Kamloops, to name a few
Hope that helps.

Hi Guys yes welcome to BE .you mentioned your a plumber well I know BC is crying out for tradesmen. I've just gone through the PNP route got a job an an Electrician in Vancouver If you have a job offer the hole process should only take between 6-9 months try www.jobsearch-in-canada.com I've had no problems at all with this company.
