Hello,

My name is Ream and I am an ESL University Instructor from UAE. I have started my application to Canada for immigration, and now I am looking for jobs at colleges, universities or centers that conduct English Language classes to speakers of non-English.

I have my credentials assessed by WES and they are recognized by the Canadian system of education. In this case, I appreciate an assistance by directing me to the right places that may be effective regarding my job applications.

Hi There,

Thanks for sharing your question and situation with us. We can appreciate that it's stressful planning to make such a big move.

There may be a few options for you. In Ontario, it depends on the type of position you're looking for they have different requirements. Teachers at the elementary and secondary level in the public school boards are regulated. However teachers at the college level have different requirements.

Working in a new country means learning about Canadian workplace culture and the labour market. You can find out what you need to know about working in Canada in our Working in Canada section. You can also learn about how to apply for a job, where to find work, and what happens once you do become employed.

You may also find Information Interviews helpful in your preparations.

Some of our users may also be able to share their experience with you.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
