It is probably not a good time to relocate. Depending on the profession you are in, the job market in Canada is pretty saturated right now. Plus, if you are not prepared to obtain additional certification like a CMA for accountants, or the Professional Engineering exam for engineers etc (or whatever profession you may belong to), it may take you a while longer to get your foot in the door of a Canadian employer.

Best bet is to take a couple of weeks of vacation from work (maybe more time), land as an immigrant, and go 'scout' the job market in Canada, apply for jobs and see for yourself how the job search process goes, before you move your family.

Some new immigrants are fortunate though, and their work experience allows them to be recognized by a Canadian company and hired. But the ones I know who are that fortunate have American or British qualifications.
