Finding OT work in North York, London, or outside the GTA to the north—looking for advice!
Hi everyone! I’ll be graduating from Western’s B.Ed. program at the end of December. I’m in the Junior/Intermediate stream, with Music as my teachable, and I currently have my OCT Transitional Certificate.
I live in London, but I’m planning to move to North York next month. I’ve already applied to six boards: TCDSB, YCDSB, DCDSB, DPCDSB, HWCDSB, and HWDSB. I recently had an interview with HWDSB and am waiting to hear back.
My goal is to start with daily supply teaching. I’ve seen posts about people struggling to get onto OT lists in the GTA, so I’m wondering:
How difficult is it to get onto an elementary OT list and find regular supply work around North York?
How does this compare with London, particularly TVDSB and LDCSB?
I’m willing to drive outside the GTA, including farther north. Would boards such as Simcoe County or Simcoe Muskoka Catholic be realistic options?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently been hired or supplies in these areas. I’m trying to understand my options and what to expect before moving.
Thank you!
