Hi,

I'm looking for some info on the fastest way to get certified for a non-us citizen.

I'm Canadian (also have dual citizenship with Ireland so technically also an EU citizen).

I have a 3 year BA in psychology, minor in anthropology.
I've worked as an IT - for 10 years at a university (non-academic job).

I've done the CELTA and a little bit of part-time work as an ESL teacher part-time and I really enjoy teaching (but I don't really enjoy ESL teachers' low salaries) so I'd like to teach at an international school.

After doing some reading on these forums, I've looked at the teacher ready site, but they state "To be eligible for a state of Florida teaching certificate an individual must be a U.S. citizen" - I'm not a U.S. Citizen :(

I've also looked at the Texas teachers alternate certification and they seem to indicate that you may be able to get a H1-B visa there, but they require a 4 year BA. - I only have a 3 year BA :(

I'm currently going through the painstaking process of looking at the universities in Canada and seeing which ones offer a 1 year B.Ed with the lowest amount of pre-requiste requirements (e.g. having to have taken uni level math course).

Another thought since I'm an EU citizen is to get certified in england, scotland, ireland, wales.. but I haven't looked into that much yet.

As far as I'm aware there are no alternative certifications like Teacher Ready that are available in Canada or UK.
