ESL in Canada

[Eihab101]

Hi all.
My wife is an English teacher in a primary school in the ministry of education in Kuwait state for more than 10 years.
Is there any opportunity to apply for immigration for us (we have 2 children - 11 & 13)
I know Express entry will be on January, I want to know how often teaching is required in Canada.
Best Regards.
Eihab.

Teaching jobs are very hard to get in big cities. Canada has alot more Canadian educated teachers than they need. Therefore as a foreigner it will be very hard to get a job as a teacher here ... unless you move to a very very small town.

Agreed with the above. There is nothing stopping you and your wife from applying to immigrate. However teaching is not a desired profession. Canada has way more teachers than jobs. She should expect it to be very difficult to find a job as a teacher in Canada.
