Hi Amanda and welcome to our merry band of peeps
Just to clarify, you should be able to work once you get your Permanent Residency, as opposed to your Citizenship, which are completely seperate things.
Have you decided yet which Immigrations Consultants are you using? We have a pretty split opinion on the forum as to whether they are actually necessary in the emigration process but we are able to recommend a good one if you do decide to use one.
We'll do our best to answer any questions you may have so fire away as and when you come up with anything
Good luck with it all!
