Teaching English in China AFTER completing an internship
Subscribe to the topic

I am currently one year into an undergraduate degree with a distance learning-based university. I wish to move to China to work as an English teacher in order to be with my partner, switching from full time to part time remote study while teaching full-time. However, as you will presumably know I cannot get a work permit to teach in China until I have an undergraduate degree - that is, **unless** I can get accepted into an English teaching internship program over there.
Most of the internships I have seen advertised run from between 4 to 10 months. My question is: if I can complete a legal, government-approved internship, would there be any possibility of me being able to stay in China as an English teacher once the internship is finished? Or would I have to leave immediately afterwards? It would be nice to spend 10 months with my partner but if I have to go home straight away once the internship is finished then that kind of defeats the entire purpose - I might as well just stay here and finish my degree in that scenario 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
