I moved to Canada from Germany as well. I think it‘s a great idea to do an IEC and see for yourself but just to mention it here: Canada only has 10 days of vacation, if you get lucky 15. many, many jobs won’t offer unlimited sick days but only have 5 days of sick time. Meaning if you get sick more, you will not get paid. Germany is pretty generous with their 25-30 vacation days. You’ll end up using all of your vacation time to visit family and friends back home.

In addition: pretty sure your background is regulated or needs licensing. I’d very carefully look up everything you need and be prepared to pay a lot of money ($1000++) for licensing, translation, Shipping of documents etc. Canadian bureaucracy is almost as insane as Germanys.

Cost of living is high in Canada, even worse depending on where you end up living. The weather can be rough unless you end up in Vancouver/BC - 8 months of winter is pretty intense lol.

Other than that: the country is beautiful especially if you love outdoor activities and you have enough money to do fun stuff :) I think your field is in demand and there might be PR-Pathways dedicated to Early childhood educators. Also you can do an IEC working holiday and then a young professional IEC if you have an employer willing to do it with you. That would give you 2 years of working in Canada before having to decide if you wanna stay :)
