If you don't know Arabic and don't have Moroccan nationality, the chances of your getting any sort of decent job are just about zero. There is a law of national preference in Morocco which states that no foreigner can be offered work unless there is no suitably-qualified Moroccan IN THE WHOLE OF MOROCCO who could do that job instead. The process is controlled by a Quango called the ANAPEC which is the only body certified to allow foreigners to work.

If you have TEFL, you might get a job teaching spoilt brats English in private language schools as these places can demonstrate to the ANAPEC a need for native speakers.

If, by some miracle, you find work before you go, try to make sure it's with a foreign company; Moroccan ones have a record of ripping foreigners off unless they are large societies themselves. Whoever makes you a job offer, require that the ANAPEC certification be sent to you and that a contract is sent too, detailing wages and conditions before you leave Canada. NEVER accept bonuses as part of your work, they will not materialise. Insist on any putative "bonus" being integrated into your salary.

Good luck.

Hi,

You can start getting in touch for instance with english speaking call centres such as Dell, HP and others their pay is higher than french speaking call centre.

Regarding working in Morocco you will have no problems given the fact that French nationals, Europeans  and other african nationals can come settle and work in Morocco, as long as you have a job offer with a company in Morocco.

An other questions feel free to ask.

Good luck.

To the Canadian citizen, please don't imagine that you are going to sail into a job, even in a call centre. Thousands of unemployed Moroccans speak good English and they'll be ahead of you in the queue.
