Here are some things to consider when choosing to teach abroad:
- The political and economic stability of the country
- Local customs, dress, culture, religious beliefs
- The teacher package (most packages include a base salary, return airfare, vacation time, health insurance, and accommodation. Some packages also include a tuition benefit for dependents and on-site travel and furniture costs)
- The curriculum (there are several overseas schools offering a Canadian curriculum—many are modified to include local language and culture/religion classes; be sure you are comfortable with the curriculum before signing a contract)
- Local Partners (some local partners are not trained educators and may have a different philosophy about education—it is important to understand the level of involvement of the private partner
- How does the overseas work affect your pension back home?

If you decide to proceed with finding an overseas teaching position, EduNova is able to help. We will work with both overseas partners and Canadian teachers to help match demand with the appropriate expertise.
EduNova will identify reputable international partners looking for teachers and will match teachers, registered with EduNova, with overseas partners. EduNova may organize interviews and information sessions but will not be involved in the actual hiring of teachers. The final hiring decision is that of the overseas partner .
