Work permit for Canada

[alsaco88]

I'm a French national living/working in US (green card) for 4 years w/ American spouse, after living in France for 4 years.

We're interested in relocating to Canada (BC), and were wondering if anyone has had experience with securing employment and obtaining a work permit for Canada.

Workwise, both of us are bilingual (en/fr) w/ university degrees & I have an MBA degree and solid business experience. Over the past few months, I have been contacted by companies in the US & other countries (Switzerland) offering relocation & work permits for us, etc., and am now contacting recruiters and companies in Canda to apply for positions there...

Just wanted to know if anyone is familiar w/ the process & how feasible it is to get an employment offer, work permit, etc. to move to Canada/BC. Thanks!
