Working in Canada

Hello can anybody point me in the right direction.
I want to work in Canada.
I am a qualified carpenter joiner with 25 years experience.
I really do not know where to start.
I am a home owner in east London England but have a mortgage.
I'm 44 married with 21 and 22 year old daughters.
Can any one advise me the best way to go about this?
Thank you so much.

Re: Working in Canada

Do you want to work temporarily or eventually become a permanent resident as this will make a difference.
