Steps to become an Imam?

Good day,

after doing a good search and seeing many pointless links, I thought I'd turn to here. I know there was threads like this in the past but if you try to search "become an Imam" or anything similar, they only search the word Imam.

I'm a recent revert, fluent in English and only English, and I am wondering what would I need to do to become a Imam. I am being 100% sincere, I want to become a Muslim Chaplin(job title) for the Canadian Forces, but you must be schooled to qualify because it is an Officer job and to be able to be hired as an officer you must have a university degree or similar. the Canadian Forces has less than 10 Imams, I believe it is closer to 5, and I would like to become one because it combines my love of Islam and my love to lead and teach.

I am more wondering if there are schools that have English programs taught in Immersion-style where you are taught in English and Arabic gradually learning more and more Arabic.

Thank you greatly in advance :D
