I'm a Canadian student with average marks who wants to teach abroad?
I'm currently in grade 12 at a Canadian high school; I get decent marks but they're not spectacular, I get mainly 70's and low-ish 80's. I could get better marks but I don't apply myself in school that well. I really want to become an English teacher and do some teaching abroad. I'm currently taking 2 IB courses, IB French and IB english, and I'm doing fairly well in both of them. As I said, I hope to teach abroad someday; my ideal goal is to travel to France or Belgium and teach English to children whose primary language is French, as I am quite fluent in French. Thing is, as I mentioned previously, my other marks aren't that great. Can someone tell me if I have any chance of being a teacher, and if I do can you recommend some good Canadian Universities?

Yes you can still become a teacher but i would really recommend looking into teaching english as a foreign language. The one i know is called tefl, its cheap to get certified and it pays for itself. Basically after training a school board from a foreign country will contact your tefl rep and then if your chosen they will fly you out to said country and you do a six month stint teaching english. This looks fantastic on a resume and they also pay for you and your expenses and then even some extra.
