Oh, sorry I may have been a little unclear, I have lived in Canada only as a child, and lived in The US for a long time as well. Served in the military and all that. I've worked in China for 6 years now. I'm a historian, so I thought what better place to see the other side of the world, and it's history. My wife and her son (ie. my stepson have never lived out of China). Just seemed BC the climate and the second-largest China Town is in Vancouver so they can keep some of their culture and language skills.
I'm a Canadian Citizen, But Never lived in Canada as an Adult, to add, I have a foreign Wife and Child as well.

Truly, again, thank you for everyone's help. This is a lot of information, but I'll chunk it step by step and go through the programs.
You still have minimal ties to Canada and have spent substantial time in China which may lead to longer processing time. Hope you have quite a lot of money saved if moving to the Vancouver area.
Climate-wise, assume your wife, son and step son also lives (with you) in Guandong province, wouldn't Vancouver a bit cold for them? Wouldn't Houston or cities in California in the USA better suits them?
Please also note that there's no China Town in Vernon. It's a small town, by driving, it takes over 4 hours from metro Vancouver. I only travel there in the summer while driving to Calgary. For your info, there's also a Chinese Cultural Centre in Calgary. Lots of good dim sum restaurants nearby and some asian supermarkets in Calgary. Groceries might be more expensive than Vancouver but housing prices less expensive.
