Internationally Educated Teachers

Country-Specific Info

The information contained within this link will provide you with country specific reference material concerning academic records, statements of professional standing, and teaching certification authorities. It is the goal of the Office of Teacher Certification to ensure that Nova Scotia's applicants for teacher certification are fully aware of the eligibility requirements, and the applicable offices from which required information may be obtained.

By following this link, you will be taken to a website that has been produced by the Ontario College of Teachers. You are being directed to this website because Nova Scotia is using the information provided by the Ontario College of Teachers as the authority concerning requirements for documentation coming from outside of Canada.

This resource will allow you to choose the country from which you require documentation, and advise you as to which authorities within that country will have the records you require. Please note that the Office of Teacher Certification has linked to the Ontario College of Teachers' website exclusively for the purpose of providing this country specific documentation resource.

Please do not use the Ontario College of Teachers' website for any other purpose in relation to your application for teacher certification in Nova Scotia.

The Office of Teacher Certification would be pleased to assist you if you have any questions or require clarification concerning the attached information.
