Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) - Programs: ACCENT & ODYSSEY - Education Majors

Live the Canadian experience!

Do you want to travel the country, make a difference in the lives of others, and share your culture? Let your Odyssey begin by becoming a language assistant! You’ll have the opportunity to live in another province or territory while you share your culture with young Canadians.  Odyssey gives you the opportunity to lead language activities — in English — in an elementary, secondary, or postsecondary classroom to support the teacher.

The deadline to send in your application form is February 15, 2011.  Please apply online, print your application, attach the required documents and send it to the Ministry of Education.  Check out the Web site http://www.myodyssey.ca for further information. 

* Please note that English positions are available only in Quebec and New Brunswick.

To be eligible for Odyssey:

•    English must be your first (dominant) language. You must be proficient in oral and written English.
•    You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Those studying in Canada on student visas are not eligible.
•    You must have completed (within the last 10 years) at least one year of postsecondary studies by June of the coming year or, in Quebec, have at least your diploma of college studies (D.C.S.) or have completed one year of university.
