Thanks for the replies. I forgot about this website, so my apologies for the lack of answers. To provide more specific context, when I mentioned my degree in arts, I was thinking of either English or Fine Arts (or perhaps teaching both of these subjects). I understand that the market for these subjects in CAN is incredibly saturated but isn't it like in every country worldwide?

Anyways, I've had a lot of time to think about my decision, and I've also decided to include HKU's PGDE, UCL's PGCE, and Harvard/Stanford's MAT. I also constantly hear about Sunderland's PGCE and how many teachers use it in HK (I may consider moving here too- but I feel like the rank is lacking?).

I don't necessarily still know if the location of where you get your teaching credential matters much, but my main goal is to graduate ASAP and start working. I don't care about education as much as I do about work experience. I love teaching because I find it incredibly rewarding, but I don't want to set myself back a few years by choosing the wrong 'school' that may impact where and the # of job offers I can receive in the future.

Also, the 'top international school' I mentioned is in similar rank to Bangkok's Patana school (to give some hint).

Thanks for the informative reply. Would it be possible to get a position in a top Canadian private school after teaching for two years at a domestic school, or would I still be better off going overseas? I ask this because I may plan to return to Canada in the future since I have dual citizenship between Canada and another country in Asia. If I were to go overseas back home to complete the work as a TA, I would be doing my PGCE online and in-person since I can gain practicum experience at the school where I would work. Also, would you have any recommendations for schools with the BEd in Canada? I was looking at UBC mainly because the program is only 11 months in length, and it also offers IB certification post-graduation. There is also OISE with their MT, but I hear it's mainly a money grabber. I also hear that Queen's is great but to be completely honest, I don't want to go elsewhere in Canada because most reputable BEd programs are 12+ months in length, whereas the PGCE route would also be less than a year in length.

I'm currently in my second year of university in Canada, majoring in Arts. After graduation, I intend to pursue a BEd degree, with hopes to work at an international school afterward. However, if I do not get into this program, I have another plan. I would move back home to Asia and work as an EA at an international school where I will work for my PGCE at the same time. I do not want to reveal too much information due to privacy issues, but I know that the PGCE route would 100% work due to connections. My concerns are that after I graduate with a hypothetical (BEd degree), I won't be instantly teaching at a top-tier international school within the province. If I choose the PGCE route, I would be gaining work experience as an EA at a top international school, which I could then leave afterward to teach at another school. I don't know which would look better on my CV, and I also want to have a good impression as a fresh teacher. In addition, I plan to move to the UK in the future, where I believe a PGCE may be more recognized than a BEd (but I'm not 100% sure). What should I do? Thanks.
