Teaching Job

[julie2]

Hello:
I am a teacher and would like to migrate to Canada.  I would like to find out what it is like for teachers in Canada.  Is it easy to get jobs and what is the process of finding jobs?

Thanks a million.

julie2,

I have relatives living in Ontario. From them I heard that teachers are in a very high demand in Canada.

I have not made any research about it, not I saw actual scientific data. It's what I heard from people living there.

First of all check out the web site of the province where you wish to teach and see what hoops you will have to jump through to be certified.  Most provinces will require that you take at least 1 year of teachers training.  Note that it is very unlikely once you qualify to get a full time teaching position in the cities.  Most teachers start out as substitutes in the various districts.  See: http://www.cicic.ca/professions/4142en.asp for each provinces requirements.

Also check out www.applytoteach.com thats where many school boards select prospective candidates from.

In our city in Ontario, a 'supply' teacher gets $7 an hour.

My classmate's mom was a teacher and immigrated to Canada. To qualify, she has study a few more subjects but in her age, going back to the classroom as a student has never been the same. Ended up studying Caregiving and is now working as a Care Aid in a nursing home for 3 years now.

I think teachers are in as great a demand in as they are anywhere, but you might have to look into the qualifications to make sure you qualify.

I can tell you that at least for Prince Edward Island and I think Ontario too the requirement is a 2 year teaching degree in addition to your 4-year bachelors'. That must be recognised by the provincial government and some provinces are more open to outside credentials than others.
