Mexican To Canada

My name is Amanda at the moment I am living in Puebla, Mexico with my husband Francisco javier. I am a United States Citizen, and my husband is a Mexican National. We have choosen to live in mexico because we have to wait 10 years to even be able to start the paper work on his becoming an American Citizen. I have my FM-3 visa and have a couple question regarding if we are both applicable to immigrate to BC Canada. My family all lives in Washington State so BC would be the best place since we would have some kind of support system. I want to study nursing in Washington State, but I don't want to be away from my husband so i want to know if  we can both apply for a Skilled Worker immigrant visa and relocate to Canada. What documents do we both need, meaning passport, birth certificate, ect. Does the same visa apply for both of us? We are both going to want to work, but we have not had the means to do any genral studies apart from high school so we don't specialize in anything specific other then my husband can bar tend and i work six months with the forest servious in washington state. We both have our passports, mine being American and his being Mexican, and have both never been to Canada illegally or legally. We do have a small source of income in Mexico, but if need be my family has stated that they will sponser us if allowed. I get so confused reading all the different websites because i find that almost everyone says something different from the next. I would like to know what documents are needed, and if my husband is eligable as well.  deeply greatful for any help you can give me.

Thank you so much for you reply, does it make any differance that i am american, does that help at all? like if i were to go first with my passport and then apply for my husband when i am in canada?
