I'm a Canadian Citizen, But Never lived in Canada as an Adult, to add, I have a foreign Wife and Child as well.

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.

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.
