To my limited understanding, Canada has (or had) a teacher shortage and that the work visa requirements for education are more lenient than other fields. As with most countries, a work visa -> permanent residency -> citizenship is the "easiest" path to immigration. The largest hurdle is usually finding a company to sponsor your visa.
We had a teacher shortage, and now we have funding problem because international students basically were covering 50% of university bills because their tuition was inflated so much. The feds have basically crippled foreign student intake in programs so the teacher shortage is likely to get even worse. When I attended in the mid 00s my department already wasn't allowed to print class outlines because it wasn't approved in the budget for teachers. Can't imagine it's gotten better now.
