Introduction:
Do you think you could teach in Canada? It's a good question. Most people would think that a foreign teacher means doing the job in such a way that they are not fully qualified to do it. But if students are happy and their citizenship is perfect, then it should be okay to teach abroad.
Yes, but at the bare minimum, you need to have a valid work visa, which will generally only be granted for a limited time. There are many different kinds, ranging from one-year permits to multi-year permits. If you're not allowed to stay in Canada permanently, don't worry; there are other ways to stay here while serving as a teacher.
Can a foreign teacher teach in Canada?
Yes, you can. But first, you must find an employer who will sponsor your work permit application and provide you with temporary resident status while you're waiting for your work permit.
You may be able to get a job teaching English or French as a foreign language (EFL) at a school that has been approved by Ministerial Order under the Employment Equity Act. To confirm whether your school qualifies, contact the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
The answer is no, a foreign teacher can not teach in Canada.
Canada has very strict immigration rules and requirements for any non-Canadian citizen wishing to teach in Canada.
The only exception is if you are already a permanent resident of Canada and you have been studying in Canada for at least 2 years as a student before applying for permanent residency (this does not include time spent outside of Canada studying).
The short answer is yes, there are many options for foreign teachers to work in Canada. However, the process can be complicated and time-consuming. Before you apply to teach English in one of Canada's schools, it's important to understand the requirements and process involved.
Requirements:
Before applying for a visa, you'll need to meet certain requirements that differ depending on your country of origin and whether you have any previous teaching experience. If you have a bachelor's degree, this will likely be enough for most schools. However, if you studied at an institution outside of North America or don't have any experience as an ESL teacher, then you may want to consider pursuing an alternative route such as the TEFL certificate program or TEFL certification course offered by universities or institutes in Canada.
Processing Time:
Applying for a visa can take anywhere from two weeks up to two months before it is approved or rejected by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Once approved, it takes another three to six months before your visa becomes active (meaning that all required documents have been submitted). The time frame varies depending on where you live in.
Conclusion:
The answer to the question posed in the title is: yes. Just like any other job in Canada, you must hold a valid Canadian work visa to teach here. You can apply for one by clicking here, and then following the steps on Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Wikipedia to get your papers filed (and make sure you do it right).
Our answer is, "it depends." But there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. Readers will come out with a better understanding of whether or not they can be employed as foreign teachers in Canada after reading this article.
