My background is Chemical Engineering, at one of the largest tire manufacturers. Hopefully with several recent regional and global awards under my belt, that might help.
My wife is a dietitian and I swear she would be in more demand than I am, but she doesn’t want to do the applying. Rather she wants to have me find something and her figure it out upon moving, if that were to happen.
Perhaps you can try to apply for engineering jobs in Canada (in pharmaceutical companies?) and get your company to sponsor you? In term of dietitian, Canada has something called Registered Dietitian, your wife may want to research that.
I looked into it, since she is a registered dietitian in the states she’s just have to prove her education and licensure. After that, she’d have to take the test for Canada.
Generally speaking, the highest-scoring applicants get in first. If that fails, maybe there’s some niche provincial program or something, but you’ll need to hire an immigration lawyer to have a chance of figuring it out.
If you do get let in, I recommend driving up in an RV. The housing market in Canada is still really fucked, and that’s a decent fallback option. Winter-safe ones exist, but I also see people building little insulated enclosures, and in any case cold season is nearly over right now.

It used to be that there was a website where you could basically just check your eligibility, but the system got somehow even more complicated so checking “express” eligibility is the best I can do: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score.html

I see even with express entry I’d need to take a test to for my English proficiency.
Guess this’ll be a long haul as I apply to jobs and make myself more appetizing.
