EXPRESS ENTRY QUESTION: Ontario College teacher certificate

[cgst41]

Hi guys, I have received my OCT (Ontario College of teacher) certification. It is approved with conditions. My question is can I include this in my Express entry profile?

In the question:

"Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

Note: A certificate of qualification lets people work in some skilled trades in Canada. Only the provinces, territories and a federal body can issue these certificates. To get one, a person must have them assess their training, trade experience and skills to and then pass a certification exam.

People usually have to go to the province or territory to be assessed. They may also need experience and training from an employer in Canada.

This isn’t the same as a nomination from a province or territory."


Please confirm so I would update my EE profile.

Answer is no. Per the description you provided, this is for trades. Teaching is not a trade.

Hi Scylla, that was just a note from the question and stating the trade as a sample. Ontario is a province that provided the certification. I'm thinking that it would be applicable. hmmmmmm. need more inputs guys

Still the same answer. The 50 points in for having a certificate of qualification only counts if it's for a trade. Teaching is not classified as a trade. You don't qualify for the 50 points under EE for having a certificate of qualification in teaching.
