Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has taught in Canada after immigrating there with qualifications from another country? My partner is a secondary school teacher (math and computing), who will be wanting to do this when we move to Canada (He's Australian, I'm Canadian). My mother was a teacher in BC for 35 years before retiring so we have her to help us a bit, and we know he probably needs to jump through a few hoops to be allowed to teach, but we're really interested in hearing from anyone who has gone through this before, and what their experiences were? I'm sure it varies by province, and we'll probably be moving to BC, but we're not set in stone on that so any hearing about any experiences would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Depending on your husband's qualifications, he might be able to work as a University Professor without having the same hoops to jump through. |

I got my Bachelor of Education in Canada and had problems getting certification to teach here because I had worked in Australia and been certified to teach there. The biggest problem for me was getting the required documentation from the Victorian Institute of Teaching that said I was in good standing. It had to be sent directly to the regulatory body in Ontario, and with the time change, it was difficult to communicate by phone. I would recommend finding out the required documentation and arranging to have it send to Canada before leaving Australia.
Good luck!

| get the assessment of degrees done by the province where the guy is living, the provincial board decides the level and tell what course he has to do. then he has to apply through the education boards of the province. |

Hello Sea Horse

It's not that easy making around 75000CAD per year in canada, but doctors they are highly paid in canada..

| THANX GUYS. THESE WERE EXACTLY MY FEARS COS MIDDLE EAST DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED MUCH BY RECESSION & PAY PACKAGES ARE RISING. IT SEEMS MY VISA WOULD COME BY SOON FOR CANADA BUT I WAS VERY SCARED ABOUT QUITTING MY CURRENT JOB FOR AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE. |

Just my 2 cents... Taking a step of faith is always a difficult thing ~ ultimately you have to see what matter most to you, money or a life or whatever is the underlying factor. I was making a great income, just like you SeaHorse, in Dubai. When I came to Canada I had to start almost at the bottom of the rung with a $12 per hour contract job (12+ years ago). As time went by, I not only started making what I was making in Dubai, but surpassed it and making a 6-figure income. From my perspective, I never felt a sense of belonging in the UAE. It was like a place of transition. I had everything going for me. In fact, when I handed my resignation, my boss tried to keep me back with another salary increase and promotion, but I had my eyes set on Canada. Also, another factor you need to consider is that as we are getting older, the further we delay the process the more difficult it comes to integrate into a new country and culture. Yes there is a recession going on, but Canada is one of the great economies and has held up better than most of the countries including the US. There is uncertainty everywhere, in fact in places like the middle east, the uncertainty is even greater because if you lose your job, you have to (pretty much for sure) return to your own country. Having said so, you have to be cognizant of fact that change is not easy and the move to Canada will not be easy either. Change as, I've experienced it, is never easy and demands courage and perseverance, but has it's great rewards. The important thing is to remain focused and motivated. This is just my humble opinion, though I can speak out of experience having been in similar shoes and taking the step of faith with no guarantees, but no regrets either. Hope this helps...I recently wrote an article on staying positive and motivated, you may find it useful. http://www.squidoo.com/getting-and-staying-motivated - Here is the URL.

You're welcome, SeaHorse...I know it can be discouraging along the way. I had many situations (roadblocks) during my journey, that made me question my decision to come to Canada, but as they say hindsight is 20/20 - you'll do fine!
