Hello Ms. Kalra
I read your post. It's quite helpful.
I need your guidance for my situation. I am a recent immigrant in Canada from India. I was a teacher back home having more than 5 years of experience for teaching in a private school. I have completed my B.com and B.Ed from India. Both my degrees have been WES Certified. Do I still need a BC Teaching License ? I don't want to be an Education Assistant. I would like to work as a full time regular teacher in BC private or public schools. How am I supposed to continue to apply for the same... I have read the instructions given on BC official website....but still had questions regarding WES Certified applications. Kindly guide .
Awaiting your response.
Hello
Thank you so much for this information
I have a question if you can help me .. i am from india. I came here in Vancouver 2 years ago on student visa and i just finished my diploma in general studies. Actually i want to do something else but because of some reasons i did this diploma. From india I already did M.A, M.ed and i also passed CTET test.. so now i want to become a teacher here. I will get my work permit soon . So if you can guide me what should i do to get a teacher job here that be very helpful ..
You need to look at the teacher licensing organization in BC. There are good chances you may need to do the 1 year bridging program in BC. Would warn you that there is an excess of teachers in many areas of Canada so full-time employment may take many years. Really depends on the area, the subject you teach and what is going on in politics when it comes to education.
hi
I am social science teacher in India. BA and MA I’m political science and B.Ed. I am planning to take study route . what course would be suitable to do? M.Ed or ECE to get decent job after completion of course ?
Also how to become a kindergarten/oarimary teacher in Canada ? Kindly guide
Doing an ECE degree makes no sense since you have to show career progression. To teach kindergarten or primary school you must be a teacher not an ECE. Every province has there own requirements when it comes to getting licensed as a teacher. There is a teacher shortage in some subjects and areas in Canada at the moment so you may be able to get licensed and find a job in some provinces without further schooling. Have you looked at immigration programs? How many years have you worked and was it in one of your fields of study? Are you flexible when it comes to what province you want to live in?
Hi
I have been teaching Social Science to grades 9-10 in delhi for past 7 years. I waited for draws unluckily not happening and am bound to take study route and continue my field in education/ teaching career. Would you recommend doing M. Ed then instead of ECE ? Or any other course suggestions?
I prefer Ontario or BC due to friends living there . What steps / procedure to follow after study route to become a teacher ?
You will need to contact the licensing board in both provinces. Usually you need to get a teaching degree from Canada to work in Ontario and you usually need to do a 1 year bridging program to work as a teacher in BC. I have heard that if you are willing to work in a remote community then you may not need to do the 1 year bridging program. If your goal is to be near friends then a remote community is probably not an option.
Teaching social science is usually not a teachable in demand like French and STEM subjects. A diploma in ECE is taking a big step back so would not make sense since you need to show that your choice of program will lead to career progression. Would focus on a masters degree. Would still focus on immigration.
Congrats,
is there any prospect as teacher for MBA graduates, what are the requirements
If you are talking about teaching in public elementry or high school (referred to k-12), MBA isn't going to help you. You need an education degree. Some provinces have bridgting programs. You need to check the certification of the province that you want to teach.
e.g. this is for BC
