Canada is actively welcoming teachers in 2025, opening its doors broader than ever for educators. With competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and a high demand for skilled teachers, this is an ideal time for educators to explore opportunities in Canada.
Recently, Canada has taken a significant step to attract more educators by introducing a new Education Category in its Express Entry system. This initiative prioritizes teachers and educators, offering them a streamlined path to permanent residency and stable teaching jobs across various roles.
Canada is experiencing a shortage of skilled teachers across various roles. Educators are in high demand due to a growing teacher shortage caused by retirements, increasing student enrollment, and declining graduates from teacher education programs.
To address this gap:
Canada urgently needs teachers in various roles, including:
The new Education Category in the Express Entry system offers a streamlined path for educators. To qualify under this category, you must have experience in one of the occupations classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system.
| Job Title | NOC Code | TEER Level |
| Secondary school teachers | 41220 | 1 |
| Elementary school and kindergarten teachers | 41221 | 1 |
| Early Childhood Educators | 42202 | 2 |
| Instructors for persons with disabilities | 42203 | 2 |
| Teacher assistants | 43100 | 3 |
Canada uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system to classify jobs based on duties, skill levels, and educational requirements. Your eligibility depends on selecting the correct NOC code that matches your work experience and qualifications. If your job title doesn't match the listed titles, you may still qualify if your job duties align with the NOC description.
You must create a profile on the IRCC website, Express Entry profile. To complete your Express Entry application, you may follow these steps:
Prepare these essential documents for your application:
Although the Education Category enhances your chances, achieving a higher CRS score further increases your likelihood of being selected.
Here are some tips to improve your CRS scores:
If your CRS score is competitive, you will be selected in an Express Entry draw and receive an ITA. You have 60 days to submit a complete Application for Permanent Residence (APR) and all required documents. Submit your complete PR application through the IRCC online portal.
When you receive an ITA for Canadian permanent residency, it's crucial to act quickly. You have 60 days to submit your application. If you fail to submit your application within the deadline for any reason, your ITA will expire. You must re-enter the Express Entry pool by creating a new profile and meeting the eligibility criteria again.
Additionally, make sure all your documents are complete and accurate. Providing false information can lead to application refusal, being barred from entering Canada for at least five years, and receiving a permanent record of fraud. So, take the time to get everything right and avoid any complications.
