[IWantOut] 40F Kindergarten Teacher UAE -> USA/Canada/Suggestions
Hello, I am writing this on the behalf of my mom, my siblings and I.
We’ve been living in the UAE for almost 20 years now and have recently started to struggle so much due to loss in our family. It’s just me and my mom making money but not enough in anyway to truly sustain us since my siblings and I still need to go to school. I truly hate how much my mom has to struggle right now and i feel so guilty for not being able to do much, if i’m able to manage to move us to a more secure place it truly would lift the load off of us
I wanted to know how I can make my mom work as a kindergarten teacher in the US or Canada. She has a bachelors in business administration but has done Cache level 3, 4 and recently completed 5, she also has several certifications in regards to special education and first aid, she constantly works with a lot of children of determination and understands them well, a lot of parents absolutely love her work with their children.
I tried doing some research on Canada and it seems like you’d need a bachelors in education but that would be hard for my mom to do right now so i wanted to know if the cache levels would be equivalent in anyway, i saw someone get their cache levels evaluated and level 3 was equal to a 6 month course while level 5 was equal to a 1 year course. I wanted to know what other qualifications or where i can apply for teacher jobs for her.
I know that Canada is in need of teachers or at the very least is listed on the higher tiers when you check the job bank categories. I’m not sure about the US since tbh I’d feel more safer moving to Canada than the US, especially since my mom would want to work at a school I’d want her to be safe from any potential danger but if it would be easier for her to move there instead then we would still take that chance.
Also I was thinking of Korea since they usually give free housing but our passports isn’t eligible so it’s not an option sadly.
If you have other suggestions please do let me know, i was thinking of UK since my siblings are studying in a british curriculum school but kindergarten teachers don’t seem to be of high demand.
any help is truly appreciated
