Prettiest Towns and Cities in Ontario?

Niagara-on-the-Lake definitely gets my vote. The old town, the stunning floral displays, the surrounding vineyards... I love the whole Niagara region.
Jobs are scarce though, aside from tourism, although you have Hamilton and Burlington close by. There's a Niagara immigration portal at http://www.niagaraimmigration.ca/Immigration/Home.aspx

Is October a good time to land?

The earlier in the year you can land, the better probably as it will give you more time to adjust before winter sets in. But if you could make it in September then you still have a couple of months before the really cold temperatures. Plus the fall season in Ontario can still be reasonably warm and very beautiful with the change of colours.
Good luck with your move!

Getting into University/College Teaching

Hi - it sounds like you have great experience and qualifications. I work at a community college, but sadly we no longer have a journalism program. There is a job board for Ontario Colleges at http://www.ontariocollegeemployment.ca/. This ad. from Seneca may be of interest http://www.senecac.on.ca/careers/currentcareers.html. It's worth considering part-time teaching positions too as many faculty seem to start as part-time professors, then later get hired on full-time.
Other options for you might include digital media/web content manager or communications/PR positions. Hope this is of help.

Hi - you might find the information at http://www.worksmartontario.gov.on.ca/scripts/default.asp?contentID=1-3-6 helpful.
Also, from http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ei/faq/faq_general.shtml#quit
"Generally, when you voluntarily quit your job without just cause, you will not be paid regular benefits. After quitting your job, you must work the required minimum number of insurable hours to receive regular benefits. However, you may still be paid maternity, parental, sickness, compassionate care and/or PCIC benefits as long as you qualify for these benefits."
