Yes, a TESL will certainly give a boost to your application.
Before you can even get an interview, your application needs to be approved by the Japanese Consulate in Ottawa. Applications are due in December each year for the Mid February interviews. Successful candidates will be in Japan at the end of July for exactly one year.
