Thank you so much for your amazing videos. You inspired me Maam Ingrid. My first job in Canada is a Early Childhood Assistant, I thought I will start on scratch. But I saw your videos, I just took chance and got the job. Now I'm working on a public school childcare. God is indeed so good. Now I'm on my OCT process journey. Make more informative videos. More power and God bless. :)
@@ingridfraser36 Yes maam, kindly (as a humble request) in your next content discuss how did you get your job in the district school board using your OCT license.
Watched your vlogs about becoming a certified teacher in Canada and also I'm on the process of gathering my documents. Thank you for your inspiring content, Maam Ingrid.
Hello Mam. Paano po ninyo naipakita na same yung hinahanap nilang Certificate of Good Standing from PRC manila and province na certificate of good standing sa province?
Hi, really happy for u...god bless you...I am in my homeland and when I tried in the link given by u it is asking SIN in the first page of the application.since I don't have that kindly guide me
Hi Ingrid, thank you for your helpful video! I was wondering where you did your background check? I’m living in the States, and I really want to get my Canada teaching license before moving there.
You need to get that from here. You can submit that by the time youre already here. Thats what I did. I started the application when I was still in the Phils.
Hi Ingrid, Marecel Schafer here, You and me the same Journey in Canada amazing! I did the same thing you did. All I thought before was all true about rumours that we all go back to zero , that our Curriculum here and in Philippines are different and yes it’s different but look where we are right now, we both made it! I was a Registered Elementary Teacher also in Philippines for 11 years before I got my Permanent Visa here in Canada. I was like you, I started my job right away as Level 1 DayCare Teacher and after 1 month, Government of Alberta Sent me another Level 3 Supervisor Certificate and then after 2 years of working I got promoted Last Month as DayCare Assistant Director Nothing is impossible in this world. Just go go go pursue our dreams 🥰
Wow! Thanks for sharing sis, this can inspire other readers/viewers here too, other than my own story. Oo nga akala ko talaga nun, pagdating ko dito ang hahantungan ko ay gardener, house cleaner, janitor, dog walker. Kasi yan ang palagi kong naririnig sa atin. Which is true namn siguro sa mga hindi nagpursue na magparecertify. Kaya tama ka if we just have to be persistent and pursue our dreams, nothing is impossible. 😍
Hi! If you don't mind, are there requiremnts to teach at a day care center? I am a LPT in PH and im in canada and waiting for my PR here in Ontario... I am willing to teach as assistant day care teacher soon..
Hello Ms. Ingrid! First of all, I loved your informative and helpful video. I do have a question like the other commenters here. Why is Master's degree crucial in getting a Canadian teaching license? If I correctly read the information guide provided by OCT (and the teaching authorities in other Canadian provinces like Newfound & Labrador), the academic requirement is Bachelor's Degree in Educ, and the Professional Credential requirements are Philippine teaching license, Statement of Professional Standing and Certification of English as a Medium of Instruction. Thank you and all the best!
1. Getting a Masters degree from your home country is crucial to equate their curriculum here since their high school here is 6 years and ours in the Phils is just 4 years (before K to 12). 2. Yes, you're right. But those are just the basic requirements. They will still ask for other supporting docs depending on what you have entered in your application form.
@@ingridfraser36hello, is it important that your Bachelor's degree and masters degree be in the same field? Like in my case, i have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and master's degree in special education.. Will i be able to pass their standard in this case? Thanks for ur immediate response
Hello. How did you get the description of each course reflected on the transcripts.. If my BA has 30 courses, Should I asked the department to send me a letter of description for the 30 courses that I completed. Thank you
Hello, teacher Ingrid. How to obtain canadian criminal records check report if applying for assessment outside Canada? Is it okay if I will only send NBI clearance which I obtained here in the Philippines?
Hi Mam thank you so much for making and sharing this video, it is so inspiring. I just wanna ask, what’s the difference between post-secondary degree transcript and teacher education program transcript? Thanks po sa reply.

Hi Gem... thanks much for that question kasi I forgot to mention that in the video. Math Proficiency Test is the OCT's newest certification requirement.

As you mentioned documents are to be sent from institution to institution. So is it by email ??? Because the college has already given me these original documents when I completed my course .So how would it send it to Ontario college .Is it a soft copy via email??
Hi Ingrid....Congratulations !!!! I have a question , Did you get medium of instruction certificate as English for all the degrees that you got in Philippines or just for your education program degree . I did my education program from a college that is affiliated by the university ,so is it ok if I provide them MOI from the head of the college?
What if I have 8 years of teaching experience and an degree, but no teaching certification? What exactly counts as teaching certification? Does something like a 120-hour TESOL certificate count?
Hi! I would like to ask.i want also to evaluate my papers cause I am a professional teacher in the Philippines and currently attending school as International Student here in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada. Can I still proceed to apply to Ontario College of Teaching all my original TOR is with me right now.
Hi Ms. Ingrid, My application is in progress. I only have one problem now about the statement of professional standing from the Philippines (PRC). Can you please share with me the procedure for requesting this document?
1. How can I get a Canadian Criminal Records Check report if I am here in the PH? 2. I finished my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics for Teachers @PNU and Master of Arts in Curriculum Design, Development and Supervision @ St. Paul Manila, where should I get the teaching certificate from PRC or from these two schools? 3. What is the difference between Post Secondary Degree Transcript, Masters Degree Transcript, Teacher Education Transcript and the Description of each course is it the TOR? or it is a different document that must be requested for my ALMA Mater? 4. should I also submit my Bachelor's degree to WES or only the MA degree? Your reply will mean a lot. thank you so much and more power!
Hi Maam... 1. youll get it from Canada 2. teaching certificate is your PRC license 3. You just have to submit them all 4. No need for WES... just directly to OCT
Hi good afternoon ingrid, what is the difference between post secondary degree transcript and teacher education transcript if one is an education graduate? Thank you💕
Hi, thanks for the tip on finishing the Masters of Education in Special Education to get additional certification. I am currently filling out the online application form for the license. I was wondering if there was a section that allowed you to say "currently pursuing" due to complete in May 2022. Or wait until I am officially finished. I also wanted to know what happened after you got your certification. How did you go about applying for a job. Have you found there are jobs available? I am concerned they make you start your teaching years from zero as a temporary teacher or assistant teacher with low salary even if you exempted from doing additional units for certification.
I teach Chemistry in my homeland for 5 years. I have complete M.phill degree here and Looking for PhD scholarship. But can I apply for secondary school programme in canada?
Hi Ingrid, thank you very much for your video it is very clear. However I have a question: to obtain the license I must have Canadian experience? I want to tell you about my case, I'm a teacher in Colombia my degree is a chemistry teacher (I have 4 years of experience as a teacher) and I want to obtain my license to teach in Ontario, in your video you say that I can do the application from my country but at the end You say that before obtaining the license, I must work in something related in Canada. My final question would be if it is necessary that I'm already living in Canada and working in something related to obtain my license or can I have it only with my studies and experience here in Colombia? Thanks a lot
Hi Heidy, I'm sorry to confuse you... Its not necessary to have a Canadian experience for the OCT to grant you the license. It depends on the result of the assessment of your credentials. What I meant to say is that, when youre already here in Canada and youre still waiting for the result of the certification, it would be better to apply in a teaching related job so that by the time youre already granted with your certification and you want to apply in the public school here, youll already have a real Canadian working experience that is relevant to your profession. :)
Is the work experience certificate also required or just bank statement, salary slip and joining letter would suffice? Do the employer need to send it to OCT directly?
Thank you fro this video. Please I want to. I intend applying for masters in education in Canada, do I also need to go tru this process after graduation ?
Hi Ingrid, I am from India and want to pursue my teaching profession in Canada, I want to do Masters but not sure about which would be suitable for further gaining OCT over there. A suggestion would really help in moving forward.
Hi, unfortunately, i was not able to complete my MA sa pinas when i moved here in canada, however i finished library and information here. Now i am planning to get certified. hopefully I get certified. I entered Canada as International student.
Hi Ingrid, I am on a open work permit in Canada and will apply in OCT. I want to know that i have applied the transcript through WES. Should i send my transcript through WES to OCT or apply directly from my college. I did BA (3 years) , MA(2 years) & B.ED ( 1 YEAR) from India. Because when i apply through WES, I am afraid that what if, It shows my B.ED (1 year )degree as a certificate or diploma.

Hi Mam! This is April, a Licensed Professional Teacher in the Philippines, but I wasn' t able to work in Deped cause I withdraw my application there. However, I worked as a full time home tutor in my city for more than 5 years. But I am already a PR here in Canada. I' m just wondering what is the first step for me to do to possibly work as a Teacher here in Canada. Thank you for your response.🫶
Hello Ma'am Ingrid! DO you have an example of the letter sent by your institution to prove na English ang medium instruction? Pwede ho pa humingi ng copy? Hehe Saan po pwede kayo macontact? Thank you.

Hello Ingrid, I myself a college assistant professor in my country INDIA. My current qualification is Ph.D. in computer science but I don't have any teaching education certificate because it is not required at the university level in India. Can I become a member OCT and teach at the elementary and K-12 levels.
Hi. I know you said I can do it but I Have Bachelor of Arts degree with a B- average and all the colleges need a B so therefore I can’t get accepted. What can I Do? I feel it’s not Fair cause I excelled and graduated but I can’t get in due to a minor setback. I believe I would make a good teacher but these hard rules are setting me back. What advise do you give? Should I move on and find different career? Are there any schools That don’t look at Gpa so closely?
Hi, thank you for the information. I had questions though - for internationally educated teachers, what is supposed to be sent from university to college? Documents or transcripts? As transcripts were already sent to ICAS/WES from university, Can ICAS/WES sent directly to college? and Can I take MPT online, from outside Canada? Please, help.
Hello Ms. Ingrid fraser , I am a teacher in my home country India and I am planning to move to canada . Please guide me for some short certification courses that I can do to get teaching licence in Canada without IELTS . I would be very helpful please .
Best of luck! I cant recommend you any coz I didnt have that experience. What helped me certified right away were my teaching experiences and graduate studies.
I have been teaching both in the Philippines and Japan for 8 years. I finished my education degrees (BSEd-Biology and MAED-Biology) and completing my academic requirement for Ph.D. Science Education. If I will be able to be granted the Certification to teach in Ontario, can I directly apply for a teaching job in Canada while I stay in the Philippines, or should I need to go through a recruiting agency to do so?
I don't think there is a teacher pathway of migrating here. Maybe the best way is to apply for the Express Entry and while while waiting for for the visa, you apply for the re-certification in your target province.
Hi very informative video. My case is similar to u. As u said u get a letter from ur institute that ur entire study was in English. My question is what should be written on the letter and how it will be done. And also how transcript have to be send to college. Please reply
Ano po ba yun? Certificate of good standing? Directly po ba isesend ng prc yun sa ontario college of teachers or pwede po na tayo na ang magsend? Thank you po.

@@ingridfraser36 Thanks for your prompt and informative reply.

@@singlarunYou're welcome... but that I'm not really sure about. How I understand it is that, she's pre-determined to be eligible to teach if she comply the given conditions.
@@singlarun yeah, you can for sure call or email the teacher certification authority to ask on how to comply the "30 credit hours of professional course work". Good luck :)
hi dear , can you please share the content of English as a major source of instruction as proficiency certificate so that i can apply the same from my university.
Hi Ingrid, thanks for your information, I would like to ask that for international students here holding study permit, after I got OCT, when I apply for the school board, would they hire teachers under the mandatory requirements including being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident? Thank you very much.
@@ingridfraser36 Hi, Ingrid, I will be pr only after I got the job as a teacher. So does that mean if I am an international student holding oct, no school boards will give me an offer?
Hi. Thank u so much for this informative video. I just havea few questions. I am a licensed English teacher in the PH. I have 4 yes of teaching xp but thru online. I am actually a fresh grad. What are my chances to teacher in General Education?
Hello Mam. congratulations on your achievement. I have paid the fees but i could see the list of documents required to support my application, Could you please me where to see the list of documents required?
Hi Mam..just like you I would like to teach there in Canada...At present I am an elementary teacher here in the Philippines..If I was able to register and become a certified teacher in Ontario through OCT..how much chance do i have to got a teaching job there in Canada?
Hi, Ms. Ingrid Fraser. I am a teacher from the Philippines and I have an on - going application process in PCU, Manitoba, Canada for a teaching certificate. My question is: if ever they will grant me a teaching certificate, what should I do next? Am I going to be the one to apply for a working visa in order to go to Manitoba, Canada and find an employer there or should I find a Manitoban employer while here in the Philippines? and if so, would they process my working visa? I am hoping for your answer. Thank you and more power!
Amazing! thank you so much! Is masters degree required? I only have a Bachelor degree + a Teaching Diploma from my home country + 3 years of teaching experience

Hello, Ms. Ingrid! First of all, I would like to say thank you for the informative and helpful video. a. I would like to ask if I should process WES first before submitting my application for a teaching certificate at OCT? b. should I submit also my bachelor's degree to WES or MA will do? c. is it ok that I submit both the application to OCT and the request from WES at the same time? I am thinking that because both of them will take around 30 days so I am thinking of submitting the request from WES and the OCT. and d. after submitting when will I ask my school to send documents to the OCT?

Hello mam Ingrid, mam ako po ay LPT din sa pinas, BEED graduate, dito na din po ako sa canada for 7 years.. i really want to upgrade po sana sa teaching, kaya lang struggle po ako on how to start po., been watching videos and reading sa OCT website. tanong ko lang po, sa proof of english proficiency, bale nakapag aral po ako ng PSW dito sa toronto, at english naman po yung medium of instruction, pwede ho kaya humingi ako ng letter sa school namin na proof po na english po yung medium of instruction na gamit for the entire year ng pag aral ko po sa psw program?
I’ll just try to acquirecertificate nalang po sa college back home 🇵🇭 Meron po ba kayo video on how to fill up the OCT application online? I cant find any tutorial videos po.,
Hi! New subscriber here. May I ask, I am a graduate of BEed in PH and just got 12 units only in masteral in sped. Do i need to include the 12 units of masters as a requiremnt or not? since, i cant go back to my masters anymore. Sayang ang 12 units.
Hello Dorris, thanks for subscribing. The OCT only counts if you graduated to that program. Like me, I finished taking all my doctoral subjects. What I just lacked is the dissertation. But all those doctoral units I gained were just irrelevant. So the answer to your question is No...
Hey Ingrid Fraser..one question is there, can we get this certificate online in our respective country by OCT?? Please inform me its really important to me for migration to Canada as teacher??
Hello Ingrid, how are you? I'm very happy for you on your success stories. I'd like to know. Is IELTS a compulsory requirement for private and publicly funded schools? Thank you.
Hi Aneng, I don't think you can be certified if you're not a resident here coz one of the requirements is a background check from Canadian Police. Ontario College of Teachers is a licensing body for teachers. It's an equivalent of PRC in the Philippines, its not a school

Thanks for your sharing and great tips. I am a graduate teacher with less than 1 year experience, may I know if the college require the international applicants rich teaching experience? Thanks !
Teaching experience is not really a requirement but is a great help to shorten the process. Just like me they didnt give me any conditions anymore. I had my license right away after I completed submitting all the needed documents
Helloo Ma'am Ingrid , I love to see this video. I wonder what course will I take as a BSED fresh grad to become a teacher there. I prefer to teach in secondary or college there. Thanks maam in advance

4. should I also submit my Bachelor's degree to WES or only the MA degree? Your reply will mean a lot. thank you so much and more power!
Hi Maam...
1. youll get it from Canada
2. teaching certificate is your PRC license
3. You just have to submit them all
4. No need for WES... just directly to OCT
Hi good afternoon ingrid, what is the difference between post secondary degree transcript and teacher education transcript if one is an education graduate? Thank you💕
same lang :)
Hi, thanks for the tip on finishing the Masters of Education in Special Education to get additional certification. I am currently filling out the online application form for the license. I was wondering if there was a section that allowed you to say "currently pursuing" due to complete in May 2022. Or wait until I am officially finished.
I also wanted to know what happened after you got your certification. How did you go about applying for a job. Have you found there are jobs available? I am concerned they make you start your teaching years from zero as a temporary teacher or assistant teacher with low salary even if you exempted from doing additional units for certification.
You need to finish your masters degree first. Their hiring process here is way different from ours in pinas.
Hello mam mayroon na aqng WES result ok lang ba na un nalang ang isend sakanila sa halip na tor from my institution? Ok lng na wes nlang mgsend?
OCT doesnt accept WES result
How did you migrate to Canada? Can we use this certificate in express entry profile for getting Extra CRS scores ?
hi... I came here through spousal visa so I dont have any idea about express entry
Even i am looking for same way!
I teach Chemistry in my homeland for 5 years. I have complete M.phill degree here and Looking for PhD scholarship. But can I apply for secondary school programme in canada?
Hello there... I just dont know about that... Im sorry..
Hi Ingrid, thank you very much for your video it is very clear. However I have a question: to obtain the license I must have Canadian experience? I want to tell you about my case, I'm a teacher in Colombia my degree is a chemistry teacher (I have 4 years of experience as a teacher) and I want to obtain my license to teach in Ontario, in your video you say that I can do the application from my country but at the end You say that before obtaining the license, I must work in something related in Canada. My final question would be if it is necessary that I'm already living in Canada and working in something related to obtain my license or can I have it only with my studies and experience here in Colombia? Thanks a lot
Hi Heidy, I'm sorry to confuse you...
Its not necessary to have a Canadian experience for the OCT to grant you the license. It depends on the result of the assessment of your credentials.
What I meant to say is that, when youre already here in Canada and youre still waiting for the result of the certification, it would be better to apply in a teaching related job so that by the time youre already granted with your certification and you want to apply in the public school here, youll already have a real Canadian working experience that is relevant to your profession. :)
Is the work experience certificate also required or just bank statement, salary slip and joining letter would suffice? Do the employer need to send it to OCT directly?
Yes, the OCT will ask for your work experience po
Very good Mahal :) Keep up the good work!
Sinong mahal mo po... lol
Congratulations,Ingrid! What subject do you teach ?
Thank you! :)
Hi teacher..Thanks s very informative mo n video po.Im here in Alberta uf ever po bay paassesse s OCT mggmit ko b cy d2.? Thnk you
Oh... Actually Im not sure about that ..
Thank you fro this video. Please I want to. I intend applying for masters in education in Canada, do I also need to go tru this process after graduation ?
Yes, coz this is a licensing body here
Hi Ingrid, I am from India and want to pursue my teaching profession in Canada, I want to do Masters but not sure about which would be suitable for further gaining OCT over there. A suggestion would really help in moving forward.
The best thing you can do is to visit their website and read their requirements
Hi, unfortunately, i was not able to complete my MA sa pinas when i moved here in canada, however i finished library and information here. Now i am planning to get certified. hopefully I get certified. I entered Canada as International student.
Good luck!🥰
Hello Ms Ingrid. can you share the link where I can send my documents to have a teaching license? Thanks much.

Please help..how to get the canadian criminal record check if I am outside India?is it possible?
Not possible. You need to be in Canada

Hi Ingrid, I am on a open work permit in Canada and will apply in OCT. I want to know that i have applied the transcript through WES. Should i send my transcript through WES to OCT or apply directly from my college. I did BA (3 years) , MA(2 years) & B.ED ( 1 YEAR) from India. Because when i apply through WES, I am afraid that what if, It shows my B.ED (1 year )degree as a certificate or diploma.
hi there... OCT doesnt accept from WES. Credentials have to be directly to OCT
Hi thanks for the video🦋 Do we need PR status to apply for OCT? With open work permit is it ok to apply?
Sorry... that Im not sure about
Hello. Need tlga na Ang university Ang mgbibigay Ng credentials to OCT? What if I have a copy of my tor and other requirements, pwede Kya Ako n lng mgsend s OCT? And need b n original lahat or pwede clear copy lng. Thank you

Hi Mam! This is April, a Licensed Professional Teacher in the Philippines, but I wasn' t able to work in Deped cause I withdraw my application there. However, I worked as a full time home tutor in my city for more than 5 years. But I am already a PR here in Canada. I' m just wondering what is the first step for me to do to possibly work as a Teacher here in Canada. Thank you for your response.🫶
Hi April...the best thing is to contact OCT
Hello Ma'am Ingrid! DO you have an example of the letter sent by your institution to prove na English ang medium instruction? Pwede ho pa humingi ng copy? Hehe Saan po pwede kayo macontact? Thank you.
You just have to request that from the University where you took up your education program
I have an enquiry about registration
As my surname is Dhiman .but it is not in my passport and other documents
So registration what should I write in surname.?
Oh I'm sorry Ashna... I'm not sure about that
Okay np .. thanks for replying
Hello Ms. Ingrid... Thank you very much for this supper helpful video.. May I ask how much is the payment to the college of Ontorio?

U have positive outlook that everything can come on your way.stay tune sis. Galing galing.

Hi, Im glad to see vlog with this content. I am wondering if the Colleges will accept credential evaluation done for US teaching job. I am under J1 program here.
Hi Sheena, I think no, it should be the College
Thank you po.

You may try to visit their website to check on that po
Hello Ingrid, I myself a college assistant professor in my country INDIA. My current qualification is Ph.D. in computer science but I don't have any teaching education certificate because it is not required at the university level in India. Can I become a member OCT and teach at the elementary and K-12 levels.
Hi there... uhhmm... The basic requirement in applying OCT is the Degree in Education, so probably you cant
Hi. I know you said I can do it but I
Have Bachelor of Arts degree with a B- average and all the colleges need a B so therefore I can’t get accepted. What can I
Do? I feel it’s not
Fair cause I excelled and graduated but I can’t get in due to a minor setback. I believe I would make a good teacher but these hard rules are setting me back. What advise do you give? Should I move on and find different career? Are there any schools
That don’t look at Gpa so closely?
The best thing is to call OCT regarding that matter.
Hi, thank you for the information. I had questions though - for internationally educated teachers, what is supposed to be sent from university to college? Documents or transcripts? As transcripts were already sent to ICAS/WES from university, Can ICAS/WES sent directly to college? and Can I take MPT online, from outside Canada? Please, help.
The OCT dont accept docs from ECAS/WES. It should be directly from the UNiv
@@ingridfraser36 are you sure of this
Hello Ms. Ingrid fraser , I am a teacher in my home country India and I am planning to move to canada . Please guide me for some short certification courses that I can do to get teaching licence in Canada without IELTS . I would be very helpful please .
Best of luck! I cant recommend you any coz I didnt have that experience. What helped me certified right away were my teaching experiences and graduate studies.
I am trying to apply but it keeps asking me for an insurance number.....can you let me know what forms you used?
Hi Miss Lee, it will not ask you SIN po kung ang nilagay mong address ay dyan sa home country mo...
I have been teaching both in the Philippines and Japan for 8 years. I finished my education degrees (BSEd-Biology and MAED-Biology) and completing my academic requirement for Ph.D. Science Education. If I will be able to be granted the Certification to teach in Ontario, can I directly apply for a teaching job in Canada while I stay in the Philippines, or should I need to go through a recruiting agency to do so?
I don't think there is a teacher pathway of migrating here. Maybe the best way is to apply for the Express Entry and while while waiting for for the visa, you apply for the re-certification in your target province.
Hi very informative video. My case is similar to u. As u said u get a letter from ur institute that ur entire study was in English. My question is what should be written on the letter and how it will be done. And also how transcript have to be send to college. Please reply
You need to register at OCT first and they will guide you
hello po. pano po kayo nakakuha ng statement of professional standing sa prc po ba? and san po kayo nagpatransalate ng tor? salamat po.

Do you know the process of becoming a secondary school teacher in Nova Scotia as well?
The process basically are just the same across Canada (or maybe differs in some point), its the guidelines that differs. I made a quick search for you. Here's on how to become a teacher in Nova Scotiawww.msvu.ca/academics/faculty-of-education/bachelor-of-education-elementary-secondary/becoming-a-certified-teacher-in-ns/. Good luck! :)
@@ingridfraser36 Thanks for your prompt and informative reply. Actually my wife recently received her application result from teacher Certification authority in NS and they have asked her to go for 30 credit hours of professional course work, that we are not sure how to do that and can she work within NS with Conditional Initial teacher Certification license?
@@singlarunYou're welcome... but that I'm not really sure about. How I understand it is that, she's pre-determined to be eligible to teach if she comply the given conditions.
@@ingridfraser36 Yes might be, this is exactly what we are trying to figure out as well.
@@singlarun yeah, you can for sure call or email the teacher certification authority to ask on how to comply the "30 credit hours of professional course work". Good luck :)
hi dear , can you please share the content of English as a major source of instruction as proficiency certificate so that i can apply the same from my university.
You can just go to the registrar of your university and request for "English as medium of instruction" certificate
@@ingridfraser36 thank you so much dear, it was really helpful
Hi po Ms Ingrid. New subcriber here and an English teacher po here in the PH. Were you still in the philippines when you applied to OCT ,ma'am?
Yes 😊
Hi Ingrid, thanks for your information, I would like to ask that for international students here holding study permit, after I got OCT, when I apply for the school board, would they hire teachers under the mandatory requirements including being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident? Thank you very much.
You can already apply when youre PR like me
@@ingridfraser36 Hi, Ingrid, I will be pr only after I got the job as a teacher. So does that mean if I am an international student holding oct, no school boards will give me an offer?
Hi. Thank u so much for this informative video. I just havea few questions. I am a licensed English teacher in the PH. I have 4 yes of teaching xp but thru online. I am actually a fresh grad. What are my chances to teacher in General Education?
First you need a visa to come here.
Hello Mam. congratulations on your achievement. I have paid the fees but i could see the list of documents required to support my application, Could you please me where to see the list of documents required?
They will send it to you... better contact them through call or in their website
Hi po. Kelangan po ba naka Apostille ung TOR from school or ok napo na ung original galing mismo sa school? Thank you

Hi Mam..just like you I would like to teach there in Canada...At present I am an elementary teacher here in the Philippines..If I was able to register and become a certified teacher in Ontario through OCT..how much chance do i have to got a teaching job there in Canada?
The public schools here only hire inland applicants. So if you migrate here theres a big chance as I have
Hi, Ms.
Ingrid Fraser. I am a teacher from the Philippines and I have an on - going application process in PCU, Manitoba, Canada for a teaching certificate. My question is: if ever they will grant me a teaching certificate, what should I do next? Am I going to be the one to apply for a working visa in order to go to Manitoba, Canada and find an employer there or should I find a Manitoban employer while here in the Philippines? and if so, would they process my working visa? I am hoping for your answer. Thank you and more power!
Hi Kim... what I know is that schools here, private or public only hire certified teachers who are already here
Amazing! thank you so much!
Is masters degree required? I only have a Bachelor degree + a Teaching Diploma from my home country + 3 years of teaching experience
Wow very inspiring video Miss Ingrid. I just would like ask, how do the institution send the documents to college? Is it email or mail?
slow mail
Thank you Miss Indrid… last question po saan po imail po maam? Anong official address po ang OCT?

Hello, Ms. Ingrid! First of all, I would like to say thank you for the informative and helpful video. a. I would like to ask if I should process WES first before submitting my application for a teaching certificate at OCT? b. should I submit also my bachelor's degree to WES or MA will do? c. is it ok that I submit both the application to OCT and the request from WES at the same time? I am thinking that because both of them will take around 30 days so I am thinking of submitting the request from WES and the OCT. and d. after submitting when will I ask my school to send documents to the OCT?
no need for WES
Hi Ingrid, I wanted to ask you, the documents that the institutions should send directly , can be for mail or should be physically?
They will give you the instruction if you have applied already
Hi! I am new in your channel...i am planning to migrate to canada...my cousins are there already..and they advised me to come.. i really wanted it for a long time ..i am currently teaching in a public elem school here in Palawan for almost 20 yrs now ..i just applied for ECE CERTIFICATION a week ago ..i am waiting for the results since 8 wka to wait.

Thank you... hope makamit mo na ang iyong pinapangarap na canadian life :)
Mam, I did BSc, MSc and B.Ed. Do I need to collect the medium of instruction certificate for all the 3 courses or for B. Ed only?? Plss reply
The OCT will instruct you on what to do if you have applied already
Thank you so much, you are awesome sharing your experiences. I love your videos. God bless you more.
Thank you so much!
Which province are you teaching and how long does it takes to get the licence from outside canada
Got my teaching license in Ontario
hello, maam. may i know if you already have graduate studies units before you applied for the teaching license in Canada?
Opo. Masters degree holder ako sa Pinas at patapos na rin sana ako sa doctoral studies ko. Di lang ako nakapag dissertation...
@@ingridfraser36 how about sa case ng wala pang units for graduate studies maam? do i still have a chance to be accepted?
Did you take the maths exam? Also which of the requirements are supposed to be sent by institutions & which ones can be submitted?
No. I didnt take Math test
Hi, thanks for the information! What related to teaching jobs can you apply for without a certificate to get Canadian experience?
I'll make a video for this since there are already quite a few of you asking this same question..

Hello mam Ingrid, mam ako po ay LPT din sa pinas, BEED graduate, dito na din po ako sa canada for 7 years.. i really want to upgrade po sana sa teaching, kaya lang struggle po ako on how to start po., been watching videos and reading sa OCT website.
tanong ko lang po, sa proof of english proficiency, bale nakapag aral po ako ng PSW dito sa toronto, at english naman po yung medium of instruction, pwede ho kaya humingi ako ng letter sa school namin na proof po na english po yung medium of instruction na gamit for the entire year ng pag aral ko po sa psw program?
Hi there... I just dont know kung pede ba yan... ang pagkaka-alam ko from the univ where you took your teacher education program.
I’ll just try to acquirecertificate nalang po sa college back home 🇵🇭
Meron po ba kayo video on how to fill up the OCT application online? I cant find any tutorial videos po.,
Hi Ms. Ingrid, did you send teaching experiences certificates (from schools you taught in the phillippines) in the website? or by mail?
Hi sorry for the late reply... by mail po
Agree! If there’s a will, there’s a way. Same here 😊
Walang impossible sis pag determinado :)
Hi! New subscriber here. May I ask, I am a graduate of BEed in PH and just got 12 units only in masteral in sped. Do i need to include the 12 units of masters as a requiremnt or not? since, i cant go back to my masters anymore. Sayang ang 12 units.
Hello Dorris, thanks for subscribing.
The OCT only counts if you graduated to that program. Like me, I finished taking all my doctoral subjects. What I just lacked is the dissertation. But all those doctoral units I gained were just irrelevant. So the answer to your question is No...
@@ingridfraser36 Thankyou Mam Ingrid. :)
Hey Ingrid Fraser..one question is there, can we get this certificate online in our respective country by OCT?? Please inform me its really important to me for migration to Canada as teacher??
Hello Ingrid, how are you? I'm very happy for you on your success stories.
I'd like to know. Is IELTS a compulsory requirement for private and publicly funded schools? Thank you.
No.... not really... you just need to allowed to work here
Hi Ms.Ingrid, is it possible to become certified though I am not a Canadian Citizen nor living in Canada? and did you enrolled in Ontario College?
Hi Aneng, I don't think you can be certified if you're not a resident here coz one of the requirements is a background check from Canadian Police. Ontario College of Teachers is a licensing body for teachers. It's an equivalent of PRC in the Philippines, its not a school
Considering that PH has already a new curriculum, which is the K-12, is that mean that Canada's and PH's curriculum are equal now??
yes. if somebody is under the K-12 curriculum

Yes for sure! I mentioned that in this video as my number 1 tip to shorten the process
Hello mam.. I am very interested to apply there in CANADA but I don't have any idea on what and how i should start.

Hi Ingrid! Very informative video, and I congratulate you on your achievement. I have completed a Master's in English literature after doing a bachelor's in English literature too. I'm about to finish my "Teacher education program". I am wondering if I can apply for the "Teaching license" through OCT without any previous teaching experience?
Yes you can... They're just gonna assess based on whatever credentials you have
Thanks for your sharing and great tips. I am a graduate teacher with less than 1 year experience, may I know if the college require the international applicants rich teaching experience? Thanks !
Teaching experience is not really a requirement but is a great help to shorten the process. Just like me they didnt give me any conditions anymore. I had my license right away after I completed submitting all the needed documents
Helloo Ma'am Ingrid , I love to see this video. I wonder what course will I take as a BSED fresh grad to become a teacher there. I prefer to teach in secondary or college there. Thanks maam in advance
Well you need to be re-certified here first po. You may visit the Ministry of Education sa prospect province mo dito and see kung anong mga requirements nila for re-certification
