unfortunately there are more teachers than jobs available so getting anywhere as a teacher will be a challenge

Who issued the diploma for that B.ED, for the MBA?

I will assume those years are not Canadian... are they at least experience in English speaking countries?
 
I have done Bachelor of Education and MBA in Education Management from India. These are from one of the best university of India. Kindly tell me what are the opportunity in Canada for Science teachers?

It depends where you are. In Toronto, you will be lucky to work as a substitute (supply) teacher. If you want to go teach on a fly-in reserve, you will likely have your pick of jobs. I suggest you look at communities, or at least provinces, before you start worrying about open-ended questions. Canada does not have a single market for Science Teachers.

It is likely that your degree will not include some classes that are needed for registration here, you should check that; it will vary, provincially.
 
Thanks for your input. Yes I need to get registered / Certified as Science teacher in Canada and I am into the process of getting certified from Ontario Certified teachers association. I have few friends in Toronto and they say Toronto is the very competitive. Why don't you try some other province where getting break would be much easier so I request if you can share some information on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
here in ottawa, most teachers receive part time contracts for each semester of class. full time positions are highly competitive, and being a part time teacher does not guarantee you'll be considered for a full time role. in ottawa (as i'm sure in all cities/provinces), there is a teacher's union and full time teachers get preference over any new job posting. this means if a job posting comes up, the school will exhaust all current full time teacher applications before interviewing applicants who are currently part time or from outside the school. At the college i worked at (non-teaching role), part time teachers had no preference over the public when it came to open positions. perhaps this is school specific, though i'd guess all unions have similar rules.
 
They will expect Canada qualification and experience.
