Coming to the UK
Specific information for those from...

This section is designed to make leaving Canada to come and live and teach in the UK easy (well easier!).
At Axcis, we are here to help prepare you for what lies ahead – we know where you have come from and know what changes you are likely to face in and outside of the classroom.
London, England and Europe are exciting places to come to – especially if it is your first time out of North America. Axcis understands you may like to secure a long term position or to have the flexibility to travel and teach – just let us know what your requirements are.
Below are the Key Steps you will need to take before leaving Canada. Click on the headings for a full explanation.
