Global opportunities

Can I secure a job before I leave Canada?

Absolutely! Schools are happy to interview and offer positions to educators whilst they’re still in their home country. Digital interviews are now acceptable practice, and schools in our network are more than happy to offer employment to their preferred applicants, even if they’re based overseas.  We can also provide you with casual or blocks of work, which means you can start working straight away without having to interview with a school before you leave Canada. 

Do you support with visas and immigration?

YES! We will help with ALL the necessary documents including visas and teaching certifications. 

Can I register with an Australian state teaching body before I leave home?

This depends on the state, however in most cases you’ll have to apply once on the ground in your respective states. To register, you will need slightly different documentation for each state, but in general you’ll need the following documents: 

  • Passport 
  • Birth Certificate 
  • Marriage certificate/name change (if applicable) 
  • Police Clearance 
  • Degree (testamur) and academic record (transcripts) 
  • For non-NZ teachers, evidence of your IELTS assessment 

Some states allow registration from overseas, like QLD and Victoria, however as discussed above, independent schools in other states are happy to offer employment based on your eventual ability to secure registration. 

See more about registering with NESA in NSW, the VIT in Victoria, the QLD College of Teachers and the TRB in WA. 

Can I teach online?

Unfortunately, we cannot provide opportunities to teach online.  

I’m coming with my family – what about schools for our children?

Only you will know what school setting will be most appropriate for your children, however we are happy to suggest some local schools and options depending on the area you are wanting to live.

In many cases, the school in which you will be working at would love the opportunity to discuss enrolling your child/children in the same school!
