Canadian application deadlines are typically at the end of November. PLEASE CHECK THE ACTUAL DEADLINES FOR YOUR PROVINCAL PROGRAM.
Australian teachers have a bit longer – your applications are typically due mid December. CHECK THE SPECIFIC DATES FOR YOUR PROGRAM.
Canadian applications are sent to the Australian state specified by the applicant. There they are matched according to desired location, teaching responsibilities, and suitability of accommodations. If a suitable match is made, participants, administrators, and school boards receive the packages. Each examines the match suitability. It the match is not suitable, another match is sought out.
