Of course! As a language assistant, you will receive a taxable salary of $25,000 for 25 hours of work per week, to be completed during your nine-month mandate. That’s about $25 per hour, or $2,700 per month from September through May. More details will be provided during the application process.

What I had not expected was that my students, peers, and Quebec City itself would teach me so much about my own cultural heritage!

Your Odyssey also provides:

holiday pay, as well as other benefits paid by the employer;
allowances to help cover two return trips home, if you are placed more than 200 km away from your home province or territory;
allowances to cover the pan-Canadian and provincial/territorial training sessions.

I got my first job because I was bilingual. Learning English helped me discover and love my mother tongue and my culture even more.!
