Teaching in Canada

We have compiled a concise guide to the process of becoming an overseas teacher in Canada. We hope this helps you on your way!

In order to work in Canada as a Teacher:

Teachers wishing to immigrate to Canada and seek employment in the public schools must meet all the requirements made of teachers moving within Canada. Teacher qualifications must be submitted to the teacher certification body in the province or territory of application.

In addition, there are requirements specifically pertaining to immigrants. It should be particularly noted that most provinces and territories require evidence of Landed Immigrant Status if the applicant is not a Canadian citizen. An important requirement for teachers coming from abroad is proficiency in one of Canada's official languages - English or French. It should be noted that English is the language of instruction in the majority of schools in all provinces and territories with the exception of Quebec.

For further information regarding registration requirements, please see the Canadian Teacher's Federation Website: Click on teaching in Canada. http://www.ctf-fce.ca/en/
