Have you and your husband looked at the information on the Canadian Immigration and Citizenship (cic.gc.ca) website to determine if you are eligible to immigrate to Canada?

Really CIC website is your best bet and see if you can look at pr with your husbands skill set. Unfortunately CNA will not meet skilled requirements

Your husband can find out if Canada has a need for HVAC technicians and the employment requirements by searching 'HVAC' on the National Occupational Classification (NOC) section of CIC. Some provinces may require compulsory trade certification and some may have voluntary certification. It might be easier to find employment in provinces that have voluntary certification, as it may be difficult for a foreign educated technician to become certified in a province that has compulsory certification.

His studies r from USA. He is just not a citizen of USA. does this make a dofference?

Even if his studies are US, they are considered foreign education and might not be equivalent to Canadian studies and certification requirements, for example an American HVAC program would not include the provincial HVAC laws and codes.

There is a lot of information on the CIC website, most people follow the instructions on the CIC website one step at a time so that they do not become overwhelmed by the information. Some people also look for tips on a immigration forum called Canadavisa.com

You and your husband will need proof of funds in order to be financially prepared to support yourselves when first settling in Canada, you can check the CIC website for the current amount, (it may be $30,000 Canadian).
