I think maybe the language requirements for a position in education might be a little higher than the level indicated by your post. I'm sure you're working on your English.... are you getting your applications checked by a native English speaker? Language mistakes are a one way ticket to the little round filing cabinet, even when you're applying for a job in your native language.

After you land, you could try working as a volunteer in a Montessori school for a bit. This will give you references and "Canadian experience". After that a paid teaching job would be the next step. After that.....? Maybe you want to set up your own school!

I would also suggest you check how Canadian authorities determine your qualifications.
I am familiar with AMI and I know it is a well known associateship.
Issue is whether Canada recognizes it as such.
However, I would go with the suggestion given by irish above and anticipate a voluntary position at least in the very beginning - parhps a few months.
Do not feel too alarmed about this idea, its part of the process of settling in.
I know of a very enterprising lady who had a simialr background as you in the US who actually had to take up a course, which was howeever paid for by the school she volunteered in.She runs her own day care center now!!
We may well see you runnning your own school sooner than you think!!
Best wishes.
