Immigration Canada is very strict these days on allowing people into the country for residency purposes.
If you already have a legal right to live in Canada then there should be no problem.
As British Citizens it took us three years to obtain permanent residency through normal channels. It wasn't simple nor quick by any stretch of the imagination. Checks include verifying vocational and educational documentation and criminal checks.
I've seen (on TV) people (US & other nationalities) turned away for just having a DUI on record.
Some US citizens trying to head to Alaska have been prevented from entering Canada for similar reasons even though they state they only want to transit through Canada by road.
It's not an open door by any means..... so I wouldn't just rock up and hope to settle.
