anyone taken their program - in either toronto, montreal or vancouver? how was it?

and most importantly, what was your job situation like after completing the course? where did you find work? did you try getting jobs in canada or the US?

I took LSC in Montreal, great course fab teachers and its pot luck with your classmates. Its really hard going but I found it to be worth it

ILSC are the CELTA course in Toronto

im not sure who does it in Vancouver.

I got a job no problem after it in Canada as I have a work visa here.

You will have to have this before applying as most schools are hesitant to sponsor you.

That being said most of the teachers in my school are from other countries but are all permanent residency.

USA you have to be a citizen there is a lot of red tape to get a visa there and basically there are enough people in the US with the qualifications.

no they are all permanent residents. about 98% were officially resident in canada before getting their job.

i forget to add we also teach french! most the ESL teachers are Canadian minus about 3 of us

not at all we're all paid the same as far as Im aware

sadly there is nothing bad to say about my employer... they are great

im not implying you should have a reason to complain about your employer...i just think its curious that you have so few canadian citizen coworkers
