There are 49 other states that will not accept a California certificate without additional classes. Yet you expect a foreign country to do so. I assume you have been in public schools. If you want a leg up in Canada, start on Spanish classes.

I would think the class you should be start would be French not spanish in Canada. I think it depends on the class and what you want to teach. She's been a bit dramatic with 49 states since you can get other states who would take your B.A. Have you looked at Canada Creditinals Do you know where you want to work? Contact a school in canada and ask them.

How can I legally work in Canada

How can I legally work in Canada?
My husband is a conditional permanent resident here in the USA. My question is, what has to happen if we decide to move to Canada if one or both of us has a better job opportunity there? What has to happen if we want to be able to work and live in either country? Thanks!

I understand you would ask this question in this kind of forum, because immigration lawyers prefer to take up the whole file for $(2000 to 4000, generally) and they are not too keen on simply giving advice as you go through procedures. However, if you or your husband had a firm offer for a job in Canada, I suspect it would not be as hard a n administrative chore as in the US. Very often the companies which hire abroad do pay a lawyer to speed up the required paperwork as well. I am no specialist, but I know this much: Legally, one cannot have permanent residency in both countries, although I have heard of people who have managed that. I suppose you want to live together, so I would not get into each one of you holding permanent residence visas one in the US one in Canada. The Canadian immigration website is http://www.cic.gc.ca and possibly you have already looked it up. This said, I think that there are Canadian immigration lawyers who still would give you a consultation. It might cost $200 or more, but considering how important this info is for you, I'd spend it. I cannot advertise anyone in particular, but they are out there. Having lived in the US and being now a Canadian immigrant, I could point out the differences. Salaries are cheaper here, but then life is way cheaper too. Taxes are higher, depending in which Canadian you would live. In any case, if you'd like to get more from my viewpoint, you are welcome to email me.

if you move to Canada, he will LOSE his GREEN CARD Status in USA what has to happen - you both must stay in USA for the next 6 to 7 years while he gets his permanent green card ( 2 year conditional and 3 years permanent) and then becomes eligible for citizenship (1 year to process). Once he has his US citizenship and a US passport, THEN you can apply to immigrate to Canada.

You need to go to cic.gc.ca for information on applying for any kind of visa.

No age limit. If you are applying for a work permit it's for a specific job that already exists in Canada. Doesn't matter if you own a business in another country. They aren't for starting a new business in Canada.

Canada is a fantastic country. The free healthcare, the liberal mindset and the open-minded population make it a great place to live. It's a lovely place. I work in IT for an immigration consultancy firm. Although I don't know much about the subject matter, I can tell you it's not always cake to obtain permanent residency. You might want to give Sébastien a call (it's toll free). The link is in the sources.
