Default Loads of questions on migrating to Canada!

Myself & my husband have decided on migrating to Canada but I have no idea how to start this whole process & if its even a realistic option.
Our situation here in Ireland is dire. Dh lost his job 9 months ago & I've been a sahm to our 2 boys for the last 3.5 yrs. Dh has just gotten his HGV truck licence (he has 2 yrs experience on a prov) & I have a higher diploma in Early Childhood care & Education. We've been googling on/off for months now on different areas but Canada is so vast & diverse that its really hard to know where a good place to settle would be.
Obviously getting visas is our main concern & I know there are different options. I came across a visa scheme aimed at getting truck drivers into Saskatchewan alright but then i read that there is high levels of crime in saskatoon. Can anyone offer any insight or maybe some good websites for info. Our main priorities are child friendly areas in a suburb of a city that doesnt get winter temp of - 35 or colder lol! Any help at all greatly appreciated. Emma
