I am an Australian citizen who is about to move to Canada under the IEC open visa. I am finding it difficult to see exactly what industries are available to me.
I am a teacher with formal qualifications and years of teaching experience in various countries- I know finding a teaching job in Ontario is close to impossible; but, does my visa allow me to work as a teacher (if I can find the position) or does it limit me to customer service positions?
Aside from the obvious (not in the sex trade) I have found it difficult to find this information.
IEC is an Open Work Permit, so you can generally work in whatever profession you want, minus a few restrictions.
If you have not undergone a medical, then certain professions, including pretty much anything to do with children, are off limits. See here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp.
You also will not be able to work in some government positions that require certain security clearances or Canadian citizenship.
