Overview

The College welcomes applications from teachers educated outside Canada.

You can apply to the College even if you currently live outside Canada. However, you are strongly encouraged to apply only when you are ready to provide all required documents and pay any applicable fees. Your application is valid for one year after you submit it. If we don’t receive all required documents by your one-year deadline, you will need to re-apply, pay a new application fee, and meet all requirements that are in place at the time you re-apply.
