I was wondering if any UK teachers were on the forum. If so have you had any luck in getting a job.

I am sure you need to register but this can only be done once you get a PR Visa or work visa. I did try but they said i had to wait. If this was allowed it would speed the job opportunity up!!!!!

hi kaur,
  i was not aware of this if it is so thn it would be difficult to get original credential  to be sent directly to OCT............. i guess oct dont accept xerox copies ............  u must be doing research on the prospect  of teaching there in canada... what  is ur  view point.....

i have had my qualification checked by WES. they send you a certificate to say how highly you are qualfied in CA.

Also once you have recievd you PR Vias you can also have your teaching qualification checked by OCT and get a certificate from them.

Check the OCT website it si helpful.

hi,
as far as i knw OCT dosnt accept WES evaluated credentials.......... i thnk to apply for license to OCT all the credential in original mst be snt to OCT directly by the institute ............in a sealed envelope............. there lies the problem if it has to be done after reaching canada....
   what do u think.........

[R Kaur]

I dont think the OCT understands that we cant apply for jobs as teachers unless we have there creditals.

hi,
without license we can work in some pvt schools but i heard these days even pvt schools give preference to licnese holder....... forget about working in public funded schools...... i am planning to get confirmation from university whether they send original transcripts to OCT directly or not.....if i am not present.......lets see what can be done...........

[R Kaur]

Cool please let me know how you get on. as i may follow the same route.

Right now in Canada, there are more teachers than jobs.

Many Canadian teacher grads are out of work, working in Tim Hortons etc.

Even from the UK, to teach, you need a Canadian Educator degree, plus school boards only like to recruit Canadian Citizens (even if lawfully they are suppose to employ both PR's and Citizens)

Unless you have experience and qualifications for a teaching post that is very, very unique and skilled (nuclear science for one and you obtain a invitation from the Institute to Teach), obtaining a teaching job in Canada is probably impossible.

Saying that, there are a huge amount of Private Colleges in Canada that are not Government ruled and therefore more able to offer jobs to Teachers of certain subjects.

Private Schools - Ill start to apply for some jobs in Private schools...

Or work as a teaching assistant or something. would be a good start to getting to the education market!!!

The search still continues.......
