Well, I don't really know about visas, but as said in my first post, the Province of Quebec is in great need of qualified teachers, especially in smaller areas... I also believe that, these days, they are pretty enclined to recognizing qualifications from abroad The starting salary in Quebec is about 30 000$CAN (increasing every year up to 63 000$), 32 hours a week (Monday to Friday) when working full time... There are provincial and federal taxes but living here isn't really expensive compared to most provinces in Canada... You get 2 months off during summer, 2 weeks for Christmas holidays and a week long Spring break... If you read French and you'd like to get more info, I suggest you take a look at this site: Fédération des syndicats de l'enseignement (FSE) - ACCUEIL This is the site of our Unions federation... I hope it helped

Thanks for the information! That sounds pretty good. Do you need to be able to speak French in order to teach there? My French is VERY rusty, and was never that great to begin with.

Thanks again!
