The Canada-France youth exchange agreement is a agreement between France and Canada which can get you a working visa for up to a year under several different categories, age 35 and lower.

This info is on the consul-france Canadian website.

What is less clear on the website, which I just found out today from the vancouver consulate is that le Reunion, Martinique and Guadeloupe are included as well. (as they are for the age 30 and under English Assisant program) I think this program exists in the US as well.

French Polynesia is not included. So much for my cunning plan. However, the other DOM-tOMs might be intriguing.

Anyone ever teach in the DOM-TOMs before?

what do I want to know? I guess I'd be curious how much ESL work there is in French overseas possessions and the type. I also wonder if for some of the possessions if there is more leeway with visa rules.

I would be curious if anyone has ever taught English in French Polynesia, New Caledonia or other possessions and what kind of experiences they've had; types of visas, type of schools, freelance.. etc

I know someone who taught in R�union as an assistant. It was some time ago, but if you were specifically interested in R�union might be able to get you some more info.

Some years ago the pole-emploie site advertised a job in a college on La R�union - 4 hours a week for 12 weeks.

There won’t be any visa leeway because les DOMs (Guadeloupe, Martinique, and La Reunion) have the same immigration regulations as mainland France. They’re considered overseas departments, not ‘possessions’, so their stature is different vis-à-vis les TOMs (French Polynesia, Nouvelle Caledonie, etc.)

I have an extensive family network in Guadeloupe and Martinique so I asked you what you wanted to know about these islands because what I would tell you would not match up with your expectations.
