<p>I am a Canadian citizen teaching at the college level in the Caribbean and am interesting in relocating the US (preferably Florida). My concern is that most college in the US do not sponsor work visas so I am wondering what my options are as I am very eager to teach at the college level in America in the near future.</p>
<p>Currently, I am thinking I may need to teach at the secondary level at a private institution as I hear that some do sponsor Visas and then in time, work my way up to a college… Help and thanks in advance !!</p>
<p>What is your education level? If you are eligible to teach at the college level, you may very well be eligible for a work visa. This is assuming you will be hired, though, which is not a sure bet with universities and colleges cutting faculty and staff.</p>
<p>I am working on my MA degree and am really hoping that after completion that I will be able to apply for a teaching position at a US College… The problem is that most schools that I have contacted state that they do not sponsor Visas so I am not sure how I can work in America…</p>
<p>you can teach in college w/ only master’s degree?</p>
<p>do you mean CC?</p>
<p>Yes… a community college… I would like to finish my MA (in English) and pursue a job at an American community college though I keep hearing from some HR departments that they would not be able to hire me because they do not sponsor Visas so I am not sure how best to proceed after completion of my studies…</p>
<p>I suggest contacting community colleges you may be interested in, and just asking them about your situation or if they are hiring.</p>
<p>Thanks… I appreciate your advice</p>
