Hey, Canucks :)
First time poster here who is seriously considering moving to Canada. Sorry if the information I´m requesting is easy to find, but I couldn´t find any.
I´m a British, 20 year old university student, currently studying creative writing and media communications. My parents and I decided that we may wish to move to Canada, hopefully soon after I get my degree (which will be in one and half years time). My parents are almost 50 years of age but they are both in moderately high profile jobs so I´m sure they could get into the country based on that. As for myself, I´m not quite sure.
I suppose my options are either to do another degree at a Canadian college with a student visa, giving me a footing towards gaining Canadian citizenship, or I could simply try to land a job over there and get a work visa.
What I wish to know is how likely will this all work? Feel free to disappoint me by stating obstacles, chances of the plan working and flaws in my logic.

if you can afford it, go the student visa route and then apply for permanent status once you are here. After that - sponsor Mom and Dad.
that is my advice. Mom and Dad may not want to come if they have a good situation where they are. It is always a bit of a start over when you make such a serious move in the prime of your career.

But... it depends on what Mom and Dad do for work but if they want you to come with them you will need to be a full time student if you are over 22 by then.

Hi Sharon, thank you for answering to my question.
Just to clarify: what you are saying is that if I am under 22 years of age then I can simply go with my parents rather than become a full time student?

Dependent children: Daughters and sons, including children adopted before the age of 18, who:
are under the age of 22 and do not have a spouse or common-law partner;
have been continuously enrolled as full-time students and financially supported by their parents since turning 22 (or from the date of becoming a spouse or common-law partner if this happened before the age of 22); or
have substantially depended on the financial support of their parents since before turning 22 and are unable to support themselves due to a medical condition.
