1. You need General to apply for Immigration.
2. You will probably need Academic to upgrade you credentials to attend University Teacher training ( a must for most provinces)
3. Note that teaching it is really hard to get a job, you could spend 4-5 years as a Teacher on Call list, before getting a permanent job.

1. To teach in Canada, you need a one - two year teaching training course after your completed degree, before any local school board will hire you.
2. Here is the criteria to teach in BC : https://www.bcteacherregulation.ca/Teacher/InternationalGraduates.aspx
3. English requirements"
