Introduction:
Many people wonder if it's possible for a foreigner to become a lecturer in Canada. You might think that you have to have an academic background or otherwise be an expert on anything and everything related to studying in Canada. But is this true? I'll tell you what my experience has been like, so you can decide for yourself whether it's something you're interested in trying.
How to become a lecturer in Canada. I know this might be your first time thinking about this kind of thing and I also mean no harm to anyone in this blog, but I will show you how to become a lecturer in Canada with the help of a friend of mine who has done some research on the subject. I will try to keep it as brief as possible.
Can a foreigner become a lecturer in Canada?
It is possible for a foreigner to become a lecturer in Canada, but it may be a long process.
First, you must have a teaching degree from your country of origin. A teaching degree includes an undergraduate degree, master's degree, and/or doctorate. You will also need to have completed the application process for permanent residency in Canada. The process includes submitting your educational transcripts, letters of recommendation, and proof of English language proficiency.
Once you have been granted permanent residency status, you can apply for a teaching certificate from the Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development (ISED). This will allow you to teach at any level in Canada.
You can apply for a lecturer position in Canada if you have a bachelor's degree in any field and you have been teaching English abroad. You will also need to pass an exam before you are allowed to work in Canada.
You should make sure that your teaching experience is relevant to Canada, and that you have enough experience to teach the subject at a higher level than your previous job.
The answer to this question is yes. It is possible for a foreigner to become a lecturer in Canada. However, it would be best to apply for a position in a university or college and not an institute or school.
The main reason that foreigners cannot become lecturers in Canada is that they are not allowed to work as full-time employees while studying at the same time. This means that they will have to take up some part-time job as well as their studies. The other reason is that employers are more likely to hire Canadians than non-Canadians so it will be difficult for non-Canadians to get jobs if they have no experience working in Canada.
Conclusion:
If you can get a work permit in your desired field, then yes, you will have no shortage of speaking opportunities in Canada. However, the application process can be quite difficult. For example, to issue a positive LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment), the employer has to prove that they were unsuccessful in hiring a Canadian or permanent resident Canadian citizen.
The short answer is "yes." Though there are some barriers that you'll need to overcome. Firstly, the requirements for getting a work permit will vary from province to province, so you'll need to do some research on that end. In terms of the application process, you have an advantage in that your employer will provide much of the needed information as is required by your prospective school for you to fill out forms and teach. But if you want a job at a different school than the one your employer offers you, things will become a little tougher (you might need cheaper business letterhead).
