To teach in the Canadian school system (elementary or High School) you need to have your degree approved as Canadian equivalent, and then you need to have a teachers certificate (from Canada). Here is a government site that may be of help:

You can sometimes teach in private schools with the certification if you're specialized. You can also consider ESL (English Second Language) teaching that doesn't require a teachers certification, but a separate (much simplier) certification.

To get a book-keeping or accounting position, depending on the position, you'd need to know both the provincial and federal tax regulations regardless of your current degree. CGA (Certified General Accountant) , or CMA (Certified Management Accountant) certification may be something to investigate. Neither of these requires you to be a CA.

hello. I would like to ask also about my teaching job opportunities. I worked as a college instructor for more than 7 years teaching Medical Technology subjects like Microbiology, Hematology , Blood Banking and other major subjects both lecture and laboratory. Also, I have master's degree in educational management. How can i qualify myself to teach in an allied health profession?

I can speak to requirements for Ontario:

There is a difference between a University and College in Ontario. While some colleges are now offering Degree programs, and some have joint relationships with Universities, the majority of Colleges offer Diplomas and/or certificates and Universities offer Degrees.

Teaching at a College in Ontario doesn't require you to have a Ontario Teachers Certification. The certification is required to teach at the Elementary and Secondary Levels. Depending on your discipline, sometimes you need undergraduate, or post-graduate degrees eg) BA and/or MA -- it depends on the course. Sometimes extensive work experience is enough. Certainly very technical courses will require degrees. To teach at a University you need a PhD, or working towards it -- it is VERY difficult to get these positions.

Teaching at a Colleage in Ontario requires you to apply directly to each college individually to any open teaching position they have available. It's usually much easier to start as a Night-School Part-time instructor then expecting to get a Full-time, Day School position -- competition can be high depending on the program.

To give you an idea, here are a few colleges in Ontario: Seneca, Centennial, George Brown. Check out their own career centres, to see if they are hiring any teachers for the January, or fall 2011 school year.

Get all the paper work to have your current degree recognized as an equivalent degree in Canada.
