Just wondering if certain types of University degrees are required (Honours, BA) or if most types of degrees are acceptable... I just ask because I have a 3 year Bachelor of Computing degree and I'm thinking about heading over to Korea to teach english.

A three year degree from a Canadian university? A BA can be done in three years without taking summers off and taking full course loads every semester.

So is it a 4 year degree that you did in 3 years?

If that's the case then you should be able to meet the Visa qualifications. BA, Honours, BSc, Masters, PhD...doesn't matter as along as you've got your BA or BSc in a 4 year program.

Cheers

What I asked is not really in the FAQ, there are hints that it might be kinda difficult for me (the British 3 year thread), but there is nothing outright on what I'm asking... Is an honours degree required?

You don't need an honours degree to qualify for the Visa. You may be able to get a slightly better deal for yourself if you shop around and do your research of every job you are offered.

the actual program of the degree doesnt matter for finding a job here. i work with business majors, economics majors and even a mining development major. ive met all kinds of teachers here whose degrees couldnt be more unrelated to english and teaching. i have an english degree, but that doesnt mean that a comp. sci major couldn't teach better than me.

It might also be a good idea to check out the "English Majors- Better Qualified For ESL Teaching?" thread in the Job-Related Forum, p. 2. Lots of info there along the lines of your inquiry.

How many credits is your degree?

'Years' is too vague. Immigration will need to know more about the number of credits it took to acquire your 'degree.'
