  Currently, there are no school districts who are proactively seeking non-Canadian teachers for positions they have available. Subsequently, it is very difficult for foreign educators to secure employment in Canada’s schools. If you are interested in further research how you can come and teach in Canada the following are some resources you should start with. The Canadian Teachers Federation provides some excellent information for teaching in Canada – http://www.ctf-fce.ca/en/teaching/teaching.htm. Contact information is provided should you want to ask someone about your situation. Teach in Ontario (http://www.enseignerenontario.ca/en/whatisit.htm) provides information and programming for any qualified educator who may want to teach in that province. For Citizenship and Immigration Canada has information about work visas and immigration – http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigr/index2.html Regards,

  I read your message and thought wow, so many people want to teach here in Canada. Well alI have to say is this, I am a certified teacher in Canada and I can't even get a full time job. I was lucky enough to get hired on the supply list and well so far 2 calls this year..Maybe you should rethink the idea. Sorry just very anal when it comes to our Country and the way they graduate more and more teachers with no jobs to offer.

I live in the USA and am a licensed art teacher for grades K -12. In looking through job postings in Canada I do not see specific listings for art teachers. Do the schools have art programs and therefore a need for art teachers. We are looking to immigrate to Canada and I am looking into what I need to do to teach art in Canada.

  Yes Canadian schools have art as a subject. In fact in Ontario there are several high schools which are specialized in Art. I think you need to check out the specific boards. Try Looking in the area you plan to move for the names of the school boards and look at the websites. For instance in the Greater Toronto Area, Peel and Durham allow you to apply for their jobs directly. However if you are going to immigrate you will need to become certified with the province's College of teachers. ie Ontario College of Teachers www.oct.ca before you can be employed by any school board in that province. Teaching in Canada right now is stiff competition. It may take you over a year or two to find a job if at all. I suggest having additional qualifications so that you aren't just an art teacher, for instance all highschools require you to have 2 teachables.
  
  Well good luck.

IS TEACHER CERTIFICATION IS NECESSARY FOR TUTORING JOBS. IS INDIAN TEACHERS GET TUTORING JOBS.
I did Bachelor of Sciences then I did B.Ed in Biological Sciences in India. As Commented above there are few or no chances for international teachers to teach in Canada. As I saw in the job site there are many Tutoring Jobs for even University students. Is I am eligible for these jobs. I am going to get permanent residency very soon and very keen in Tutoring jobs in Ontario. Is Teacher Certification is necessary for tutoring. what would be the hourly wage. Thanking you for the necessary information that will be provided.

  Dear Arthy Arun Jyothi,
  
  Were wondering how your next steps have gone for registration to teach in Ontario being from Indian origin. Am about to embark on the journey for registration and am concerned about whether the Indian institutes are cooperative in sending verifications directly to the Teaching Certification College in Ontario or do you have to run behind them again and again?
  
  cheers,
  gautam

There are no jobs available for teachers in Ontario. The school boards hire retired teachers which are already on pension and the Provincial Govn't has allowed too many people to graduate with a B.Ed degree. The job market for teachers is flooded with teachers and not enough jobs. It is very sad. If you are looking to move to Canada and make a happy life teaching, you might as well forget about it. Canadians that have paid thousands of dollars for school cannot find jobs.
good luck!

Dear ECN,

After posting my resume on you web site I was contacted about six times in the first week. I was offered a position after my first interview which I accepted. This was great because it freed up my summer to do other things.

Thanks

Dear ECN;

I have been an ECN subscriber for several years. I got my first teaching job in 2000 from a listing provided by the ECN. When I left that job, my next position was again from a lead provided by ECN - this time in southern Saskatchewan.

This second job was only a temporary contract, and I was substitute teaching for a living when I saw another temporary job listed on ECN that happened to be within driving distance of where I lived. I got that job, which lasted for another year. When that contract expired, I was again stuck substitute teaching for just about a year.

A very attractive listing for a principal job in a small time came up that I was tempted to apply for. Feeling that I wasn't qualified, I passed up that opportunity. But this time I created a job bot that would alert me every time a similar job in that area came up - just in case I ever did find myself qualified.

The bot notified me about a month later that the same position was open once again. This time I did apply. I got called for an interview and, (you guessed it) I got the job! This time it is permanent.

I would never use any other education career resource. Whenever I see a school board insisting that perspective teachers use 'applytoteach.ca or edzap.com", I literally laugh out loud. These school boards aren't worth working for, and neither is it worth the money to use anyone but ECN.

Thank you for helping me feed my family ECN.

Best regards,

Anthony

Are there any jobs available on this site in southwestern Ontario ? I have just returned from teaching overseas for the past 4 years and don't want to move away to another city or country just yet (nor can I afford to). In the city I live in (Windsor) I have applied to the local public board and have not gotten an interview as of yet despite my experience. It is very frustrating applying to jobs outside of teaching which I am overly qualified for (that I don't want to apply to in the first place but when you can't find a job in education this seems to be your only option!)I have noticed that Education Canada has a lot of jobs in the GTA area but nothing in Southwestern Ontario. Is there a reason for this or do the boards in SW Ont prefer not to use this site ?

Dear Members,

While the post is addressed to Arthy and would look forward to her response, kindly treat this as an open question for anyone who can help us understand the nuances of Ontario Teachers Registration esp at the India end. This is our first post hence were not so clued in on how to go about it. Cheers all, have a great day.

Listen folks: there are no teaching jobs in Ontario unless you plan on teaching in French. If you are not going to teach in French, there are no jobs at all. Even if you have multiple years of experience, the only employment you will receive is supply teaching, and if you are lucky, get more than a couple of days a month. Ontario certifies over 7500 new teachers plus several hundred from US each year on top of the thousands already looking for work. It is a disgusting situation that people are paying colleges (who know the situation) thousands of dollars to become teachers and find there are no jobs for years to come: and I don't mean 1 or 2 years, more like 5 - 10 years.

Don't become a teacher expecting a job in Ontario. Don't waste your time or money.

I got burned so I am warning others.

Why do you expect any University or government agency to warn you of job shortages in any given area? You are the one who paid for your education were you not? Maybe you could become a better comsumer and more responsible for your own fate instead of blaming others.
I graduated from the University of Windsor with a B.ed. I went overseas for three years . When I came home, I found it difficult to find work.
I looked all across Canada and was able to find full time work. I had to move half way across the country but I was hired. Maybe all of you who think Ontario owes you something should be willing to move to find work someplace else.
Being proactive and willing to move is the key to getting full time work and advcancing your career.
