Code Instructor salaries in Canada

I have been an instructor on the postsecondary level for more than a decade, but I am not an academic. I come out of Work World and bring a wealth of career experience in my field IRL. I have what has been termed a "portfolio master's," with in-depth knowledge gained over that full career. I do not have an academic master's degree. Two universities and two community colleges have hired me without the advanced degree, but I am stymied now in my job search. How do I meet this challenge?

I have been an OR Educator for ten years. The past five years I stepped back from the Role to have more flexibility in my schedule so I could take care of my husband while he was sick. I have been trying to get back into the position and it’s been very difficult to get past the second interviews. I have my MSN and CNOR and over 20 years of experience in the OR. I cannot help but feel that my age has something to do with, any helpful advice or guidance would be welcome.

Is it worth learning about packaging design? Or is AI taking over that too? :(
