From Wiki
- New forum members who are prison officers in the UK sometimes ask if they would be able to work as prison officers in Canada.
- Correctional services in Canada usually will hire you only if you already are eligible to work in this country.
- In most cases you would not be able to apply for a job with one of the correctional services in Canada and then use the job offer as the basis for a temporary work permit application, for example.
- The practical effect of this is that it is difficult for a British prison officer to emigrate to Canada.
- You may be able to find a workaround, however. For example, if you had been a training instructor during your career with the correctional services in the UK, you might qualify for the occupational category called College and Other Vocational Instructors. You might be able to find a job outside of the correctional services in Canada, for instance at a community college or in private industry.
