Jimmy Said:

what are the qualifications to get a teaching jobs in canada even if i graduated in the Philippines?

We Answered:

Each province has its own requirements for teacher certification. Contact the teacher regulating body in the province in which you wish to reside. For example, in British Columbia, this is the BC College of Teachers. They'll have an application package for foreign-trained teachers wanting a BC teaching certificate. They'll need copies of your post-secondary transcripts. After reviewing these documents, they'll do one of the following:

1) give you a BC teaching certificate.
2) give you a temporary BC teaching certificate, but give you a list of Education courses you need to complete within a five-year period.
3) not give you any certificate, but a longer list of Education courses you'll need to take.

On the BC College of Teachers web site, they say the following about prospective teachers from the Philippines:

a) In the Philippines, high school is completed after grade 10. In BC, high school is completed after grade 12. We use the first 2 years of your post-secondary education to meet BC grade 12 equivalency. Our evaluation is based upon the post-secondary education you completed thereafter.

b) Degree names vary by country. However, it is expected that applicants will have the equivalence of an undergraduate degree and teacher education program, totaling at least four years of full-time post-secondary study. Examples of teacher education programs in the Philippines include the Bachelor of Elementary Education, Certificate of Professional Education, Bachelor of Secondary Education, and the Bachelor of Science in Education.

It is difficult to predict how the job market will be.
I suggest you vivit this website: http://www.jobfutures.ca/noc/4142.shtml
It says everything you need to know about teaching in Canada.
You also have to know that in Canada, every province sets the requirement to be a certified teacher. You should check first the province where you want to teach, and then check their requirements. usually they will ask you to send some paperwork and forms applying for the certification. Then they need to review your title and transcripts directly sent by the University where you studied. You will need to take a recognized Englsh exam such as the Academic IELTS in order to be eligible.
After all that, they may send you back to study more English and Canadian Studies.
I'm talking about the requirements for teaching at BC (Canada), but the other provinces have similar processes.
The website for this is: http://www.bcct.ca/certification/default…
You can also register here: http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/Intro_en.aspx
They will send you job-matches so you can see how much you could earn, what the exact requirements are and so on.
Good luck with your plans

1. In Ontario, elementary school teachers start at around $45,000 increasing annually to a maximum of around $90,000 after 10-12 years. Those numbers will increase with every new contract, the next one coming in 2014. I would imagine other provinces to be similar.

2. At the elementary grades (kindergarten to grade 8) teachers generally only specialize in teaching French, Art, Physical Education, or Music. The core subjects - English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are taught by the student's main teacher. Most teachers also take on either art or music or physical education and their kids go off with another teacher for only 3 of those 4 subjects. You would be teaching science, but not exclusive.

3. You must hold a Bachelor of Education to teach in Canada. Each province has its own requirements for what that Bachelor of Education must cover. In almost all cases, you must go to school in the province that you want to teach in in order to be certified to teach. You mention Toronto in a later question, so I'll comment on Ontario. To teach elementary school in Ontario you need to have a Bachelor of Education at the Primary/Junior level from a university that is recognized by the Ontario College of Teachers. That BEd takes one year, and you must have at least a 3 year undergraduate degree with an average of B (70%) to quality for most schools. I'm afraid that there aren't any exceptions to this that I know of. It doesn't matter how much experience you have in another country, you must take a Bachelor of Education in Ontario to be certified. There is a woman in my class this year who has been an administrator (principal) in England for the last several years, and has been teaching there for over a decade. That will help her find a job, but she still needed to go through the BEd to get certified.

4. Your experience in schools there will certainly help you get into both a Bachelor of Education program and find a job.

5. Right now the job scenario in Ontario is very poor. I'm hearing that in 3 or 4 years it may get a little better, but right now recent graduates can expect to be supply teaching for at least a year or two before they get any sort of long term or permanent contract. Your background as a teacher may help you find a job faster, but there are still a whole heck of a lot of certified teachers and very few jobs.

Also, you may want to work on your English a bit before you commit to moving to Canada and teaching here. I don't mean any offense, but I really won't want my children being taught by some1 hu rites lik dis on de internt.
