What to Expect at the Job Forum?
Participating candidates can look forward to engaging with Canadian companies in the early childhood and teaching sectors through online interactions. School boards, daycare centers, and language schools will reach out to candidates whose profiles match the job postings, scheduling chat or videoconference interviews.
Beyond job opportunities, candidates can gain insights into the accreditation procedures for practicing as primary or secondary school teachers or educators. Interactive exchanges with delegates from French-speaking communities, provinces, and territories of Canada provide a comprehensive understanding of the country’s towns, regions, educational systems, and immigration initiatives.
For those seeking training, the forum offers valuable information about bridge programs in early childhood education. Attendees can also partake in conferences providing overviews of early childhood programs, teaching in French, and the Canadian school system.
Who Can Participate?
Participation in the Destination Mobility Forum is an exclusive opportunity. While it is free, an invitation from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is mandatory. The forum is open to both foreign nationals abroad and those already in Canada with valid work or study permits.
This edition of the forum specifically targets applicants who are proficient in French or are bilingual (French and English), and seeking jobs in Canada (outside of Quebec). Eligible participants should possess training and experience in early childhood education, primary or secondary school teaching, or teaching French as a second language.
Applicants in the International Experience Canada (IEC) pool, Express Entry pool, or with a history of prior study or employment in Canada are also eligible to apply.
