No one will really care what your religion is; more important is whether you would both qualify for work visas AND receive job offers. Sadly, Canada has plenty of drivers and nannies so you would not likely qualify to immigrate here. Sorry but our economy is doing really badly. With 1.5 million citizens out of work, what few jobs there may be won't go to foreigners but to our own people. It isn't that you, personally, would be unwelcome but that there just aren't any jobs in your field.

Z is more or less right, though I wouldn't give up quite yet. First of all, the Government of Canada does not care what your religion is. Also, a job as a driver will not get you a visa. We have many people with medical degrees and PhDs currently working as drivers. Your wife may be able to apply though a nanny program; most live-in nannies in Canada are Filipina or Russian. That being said, having a nanny is extremely rare because most families cannot afford one. It is rare for Canadians to pay others to do their housework, though when they do they mostly hire maids. Live-in nannies only exist for a very small number of very rich people. Canada has a different economy and culture than the Middle East in that we tend not to hire servants. Also, there has been recent reforms to the refugee system, so it is much more difficult to obtain refugee status than it was even 6 months ago. So while I wouldn't give up yet until you're sure, I'm not optimistic about your prospects for a work visa.
