Hi there
Im a qualified and registered Australian school teacher and I would like to apply to become a registered teacher in Canada. I have a few questions.

1. If I apply to become a registered teacher in one province and I am approved, will the other provinces recognise recpgnise this registration or do I have to apply to every provincial teacher registration board separately?

The reason I ask is that Im not sure which province that I will move to but I do want to begin the process now.

Finally, does anyone know which province generally pays the best salary for secondary teachers?

Many thanks.

Each province has their own teachers union. You have to be a teachers union member. You would need to establish your educational and teaching credentials separately for each province. I consider Vancouver Island from Courtnay to Victoria the best place to live in Canada, but you would need to go to where the jobs are: http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

Hi - Teaching is highly unionized here and each province has its own credentialing requirements. From the experiences of my own daughter who is a teacher you cannot transfer seniority which means once you establish you don't really move around much if you want to retain Seniority.

I'd try to understand the geography of Canada and know that some places are much nicer to live in than other places. I live on Vancouver Island which I consider to be one of the best areas in all Canada. I'd check out Canada.ca to determine the rules and regs for coming here. Best of luck to you!

Actually - look at Citizenship and Immigration website cic.gc.ca and go navigating. Here's another good website: http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng

I have been to Vancouver and liked it a lot except that I was one of few white guys there.
The impression I have of VC Island is that it's mostly country there, no big cities. Are there industrial electrical or mechanical, aircraft jobs there ?
Am also a mariner, imagine there are some mate or captain jobs there on small ferry or commercial boats ?

I think you'll find statements like "I was one of the few white guys there" to be very inappropriate and does it really make one iota of difference?

Can't really help you with your query.

Last time I looked, Vancouver was predominantly 'white' as is all of Canada. So besides the obvious non-pc-ness of such a remark, it is ludicrous even at face value.

Re teaching, last time I looked, Canada has a surplus of teachers in every province so competing for a job as someone with no 'Canadian experience' would not be easy. http://www.monster.ca/career-advice/article/canadian-experience-ca

The one area where that can most easily be overcome is in the more remote areas of the country where the vast majority of people simply do not want to live and work. Like finding a job in some remote Australian outback small town no doubt is as well.

Here is a good site to see the future outlook for teaching jobs. http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/qc/job_futures/statistics/4141.shtml

Good luck.
