Need help in choosing a career in canada.

[Noor_10]

Hello everyone,
I recently got my PR and since then i have gone blank in choosing my career. I would really appreciate all your insights in this. I don’t want to do anything which will make me any assistant of any body like education assistant, immigration assistant, dental assistant or care aide. I am willing to do bachelors and whatever it will take me to be but what should i do? Thats the biggest question. I have interest in teaching, immigration and traveling. Please help.
Thank you.

IT, Computer Science. Your 3 interests are not really career choices. Become a teacher, travel agent or immigration lawyer if those are your interests.

I dont want to do computer science. Is there anything else i can choose as my career.

Only you know what you want. How can we know what your are good at? Write down the pro's and con's and take it from there.

It is your life. Choose your own career based on your interests. Become a teacher if you like teaching. This is an immigration site. Go talk to a career counsellor at an employment centre.

You can chose anything you want. You have to figure this out yourself.

- I would stay away from the travel industry. This industry is depressed due to COVID and is expected to take many years to rebound.
- If you want to made decent money through immigration, you need to become a lawyer. So you would need to complete a Bachelor degree first and then complete a law degree after that.
- If you want to teach, then you need to complete a Bachelor degree first and then complete a teaching degree after that. Canada has more teachers than teaching positions available so this may not be the best choice.

Actually I have found out that after having a huge surplus of teachers and decreasing enrolment Canada now has a shortage of teachers.

I agree, you have to ask yourself first, and then ask others. After all, no one else knows you better than you do.

Come to BC, we have a shortage of teachers here. Become a teacher. Live in northern BC as that is not as expensive and still very beautiful.

Through glassdoor, I found that salaries for teachers are quite depressing.
Or is it that glassdoor is under reporting the salary stats ?
your inputs please.

Teachers have pretty good salaries and very good pensions. Salaries vary by province. BC pays less than other provinces. What is your definition of good salary?

noted. I am Primarily looking to settle in calgary/edmonton/winnipeg. let's see what has time decided there for me in future. A good Salary ? keeping in mind the ever highest inflation in Canada, I will mention a 6 figure salary ( for a teacher in these any of the above mentioned cities)should be fine to begin.
