I have a native friend who is now studying in the Teachers' College in Ottawa University. She has just got a Bachelor's degree in linguistics and is fluently bilingual.
I donot think there is much chance for us Chinese to get a teacher's job here, especially in Ottawa.

Lots of teachers, just a shortage of teaching jobs
McGuinty vows to hire more teachers

Sept. 17.
In this article, Joseph Carnevale, chair of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, was quoted as stating there is a North America-wide shortage of certified teachers. I would be interested to know where his information is from. From my perspective, there is not a shortage of certified teachers, but a shortage of teaching jobs.
I graduated from a Bachelor of Education program in May, 2003. I am an unemployed certified teacher. My fiancé, a certified teacher for 10 years, is also unemployed. I have been actively looking for work across Ontario and the country since graduation. I know of only eight recent graduates who have obtained teaching jobs of any sort for the fall.
Otherwise, as far as I know, everyone I graduated with is unemployed or trying to scrape by as an occasional teacher. I've met people who graduated last year who are still struggling to find work. Rumour has it that 100 to 600 people are applying for every job. Competition is fierce.
One unemployed teacher told me that in 2002 the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board had more than 250 jobs available. This year they had fewer than 100. The Toronto District School Board closed its hiring list early this past summer and isn't accepting anyone onto its occasional list (except those who can teach French).
This situation is not limited to Ontario. Discussions with human resources personnel in Calgary and Edmonton revealed that their boards have laid off several hundred teachers. Similarly in Winnipeg, I was told that my only hope of work was to supply teach for a year or two. The school district in Victoria is no longer accepting applications for new occasional teachers and is currently laying off teachers and closing schools.
Like many of my colleagues, I left another career to become a teacher. I did so because I am passionate about teaching and making a difference in our children's lives. However, part of my decision was based on this myth that there were permanent, full-time jobs. I am well-educated, enthusiastic and willing to teach almost anywhere. I would love to hear from Carnevale; perhaps he could offer me a job.
