The basics

How teacher certification works in Canada.

Teaching is a regulated profession in Canada, and each province or territory certifies its own teachers. Requirements usually cover your teacher education, your degree and evidence of professional standing, and some provinces add language or credential-assessment steps.

Because details change, always confirm current requirements with the certification office of the province you're targeting.
