Slim to none. Teachers trainer here are having a hard time getting jobs.

Apply, possibly top up her training, maybe get a supply job eventually.

There are an awful lot of teachers fighting for not many jobs here.

If she's a teacher, then you actually probably have more chance of getting a visa than her, regardless of what you do! Have you read this? Teaching in Canada : British Expat Wiki

Start looking at the Wiki and figure out if you may be eligible for any of the visa routes in to Canada. If not, then no point worrying about the metric system or availability of sports on tv!

Steer well clear of any 'agencies', if you want help with a visa application (most on the forum just do it themselves unless they've got complicated circumstances, the forms are fairly simple), then hire a proper immigration lawyer instead.

Good luck.

Me? I'm only a simple sales advisor that hardly makes 23k a year lol, there isn't any easy path right? So what other options do we have?

Look at the skilled worker program and see if there's anything there you'd like to do?

Is that in $ or £ - if in £s there are lot of people in the UK on a lot less then that. I don't considered that a really bad wage compared to what others earn

As a sales advisor you're more likely to get a job offer than a teacher.

But we don't know what other options you have, only you will know what visa you're eligible for! It's impossible for us to say without knowing a lot more info. What do you think is your most likely visa route having looked at the Wiki and CIC website?

I just had a look at 'the list' and there r quiet a few options there.. Federal skilled workers is probably the best route I'd say now for now.. Do u guys think I should apply for it ?

Re: Canada?
 
Yeah my wage isn't so bad for a sales advisor, but considering my gf's job she makes over 30k or so yearly.

Thats for teaching and it is usually higher. I'm a youth support worker and paid relatively well compared to what others at my level are on. My partner is a Civil Engineer and he's on over £35K a year so it just depends on the profession really.

It depends. Which NOC code do you think you come under? Do you have enough points? Do you meet all the other criteria? If so, then yes, absolutely you should!

Re: Canada?
 
I just had a look at the codes, it's either 6411 or 6421.. Don't know much about how the point system works I'll have a look into it.. Thanks u guys btw for giving me so much information about all this!!
