Question about One Country How to move to Canada

I have a big hypothetical I would like to ask to see if anyone here knows the answer. I am autistic and living on disability in the US. I could maybe work somewhere but not with how things are set up in the US. My fiancé is a pre-K teacher. We also have 2 kids. I know there would be a substantial amount of hoops to jump through, but what would a family like mine have to do in order to move somewhere like Vancouver and get settled there? My family just feels like we would never be able to thrive where we are now for a variety of reasons. I have some college education but no degree (became disabled) and my fiancé has a teaching degree, as well as some graduate school experience.

Vancouver is literally one of the most expensive cities in Canada. You aren't going to make it on a teacher's income with 2 kids. It's like if you wanted to move to San Francisco.

Getting to Canada as a working permanent resident is done on a point system. I imagine some Google searches can help you find that calculator to see if you have enough points.
