How can I work as a Chinese or Japanese teacher in the US or Canada?
Asked by taro64723
I'm a Chinese now living and working in Japan. I'd like to learn English and American culture as well as international communication through work in the US or Canada. The first choice is to be a language teacher and the second is to work in a company or institute where has connections with China or Japan.

Best Answer:
Find an employer in the US that needs your expertise and have been looking overseas for employees (there are several things they have to do before looking outside of the US. Advertising in their own state then nationally and so on.) and get in contact with them and then they would be able to start visa paperwork. As long as you work for that same employer you can stay in the US on that work visa.

In Canada, language schools usually operate privately, and hire people on a contract basis (That means you're not an employee - they pay you your hours, but you're considered a private contractor) -There's not that much demand for Chinese and Japanese teaching, but if you were looking for a school in Canada, I would try the west coast (Vancouver in particular). They might be hiring, especially as some businessmen may have interest in those languages. Good luck.

Contact the Canadian embassy. Do not break any immigration rules.
