I recently was advised by a graduate of the Toronto in-class program of an organization using a London, England address that an "upfront fee" of apporx 555 British pounds was to be sent over by the teacher applicant in order to begin the contract processing procedure. The graduate was advised that since some teachers in the past had indicated they would be taking the contract - some backed out for better jobs causing the agency and school lost time and added expenses in order initiate a process for a lost cause. They assure the grad that the fee will be refunded upon arrival. They also provide a phone number, which when dialed, resulted in no answer!

Warning - this is a potential scam. No credible organization/school charges upfront fees for any teacher applicant. Contracts are standard and are prepared with minimal work. Only after the contract is signed and returned does the Visa application process begin and at that point there are some costs borne by the school/agency.

Hi Diana - I am in charge of the Toronto office for Global Tesol and have answered this type of question several times in the past few weeks! Marthe's suggestion of upgrading to a diploma is a great way to expand previous knowledge base with current thinking. Certainly if you were interested in even trying to do some teaching in Toronto to integrate theory and practicum, let me know. We have direct placements in public as well as private schools. You may email me at toronto@globaltesol.com or call 416-670-4281.
