Comparative Education
The University of Toronto's Comparative
Education Service evaluates foreign university degrees. There
is a charge for this service. Photocopies of these evaluations
are welcome but are not a substitute for acceptable academic documents
as described above. For more information on this service,
please contact:
The Ontario College of Teachers
The Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) is
the professional body responsible for teacher certification in
Ontario. Graduates of OISE/UT Initial Teacher Education Program
must submit acceptable documentation of their academic background
in conjunction with the application for certification. Please
note that they will not accept sworn statements as the sole documentation
of prior university degrees. Note also that acceptance of a university
degree or documentation of a degree by OISE/UT does not guarantee
similar acceptance by the OCT.
The OCT also evaluate Teaching Certificates obtained outside the Province of Ontario and they charge a fee for this service. For more information about the OCT please contact:
