ah, theres a few options you can do for what you seek. ^_^
i like in canada as well, (yay toronto/markham!!) and have looked into this.
oh, i'm the third poster guy...forgot to login when i made that comment. lol.
you can take a look into the JET program. thats the more commonly known one that ppl will push you towrds. they teach you any english stuff you need to know and then help you get a position in japan, and then you're on your own, more or less. also, if you're in toronto look into York University for a program like that. Actually, its not just with York, its a seperate Organization that pulls together students and those interested in a seminar about doing exactly what you have in mind. Its a 6 month course i believe, but its towards teaching English ESL.
I would HIGHLY reccomend you take some part time studies in University for an English degree or whatnot. Its way better pay and you don't have to go through any programs such as JET or other as much. and it would be easier to find a job in japan too. my two cents. ^_^
let me find the weblinks to these programs...jus give me a min, need to look ti up again.....
JET Programme

Nova Group

Oxford Seminars

jus do a quick search on google for 'Teaching in Japan" or similar keywords. Weed out the ones available in Canada, as it owuld make things easier. ^_^
btw, that university seminar thing i was talking about? I'm pretty sure its not jus in toronto, its nationwide program. i
THINK it was Oxford Seminars. I'm pretty sure it was. So look into that too.
Good luck! Hope it helps you. ^_^
