Canada Teaching — Provincial Certification
Teaching certification in Canada is provincially managed. Requirements vary by province and grade level.
General information only. Regulator requirements and processes change. The relevant regulatory body makes the final decision.
Regulator
Provincial Ministries of Education is the relevant regulatory body for this profession in this country. Contact them directly for the most current application requirements.
Process overview
The registration process involves verification of qualifications, language ability, fitness to practice, and in many cases a period of supervised practice or an examination. Each stage has its own timeline.
Immigration connection
Professional registration and immigration are separate processes. A work visa does not grant permission to practice a regulated profession. Both must be obtained.
