Transferring Certification

This means that teachers holding a current, valid, unrestricted teaching certificate from one Canadian province or territory may be eligible for certification in another Canadian province or territory, under the CFTA. This provision aims to facilitate teacher mobility in Canada, by eliminating the need for certified teachers to complete additional studies or exams.

To benefit from these provisions, a teacher may have to complete an application process to transfer certification. The transfer process usually requires the applicant to submit forms and documents and may also require them to provide other relevant information, e.g., evidence of language proficiency.
