Apologies if this has been asked before. I am attorney licensed in two states in the United States. If I wished to immigrate to BC and practice law there, would I have to first achieve PR status, or could I seek and obtain a job and then apply? I am guessing that PR status would certainly help in a job search. (Naturally, a related issue is bar qualification in BC -- can I do that now, or do I need to already have a job, given the need to do an articling period in Canada with a principal.)
Totally unrelated question -- I am a dual British and American citizen. Is one of these better than the other in an application? Given I would be applying from the US, I am guessing US makes a whole lot more sense, unless there is a compelling reason otherwise.
Last question! When you get PR clearance . . . how long can you wait till you actually move to Cananda?
Thanks.
