International Document Requirements

Applicants who obtained a degree from a foreign institution (from non-Canadian or American institutions) must have all international official transcripts evaluated and translated by World Education Services (WES) - www.wes.org/ca/. Ensure you are on the Canadian page (a maple leaf in the banner).  Applicants are responsible for the costs associated with the WES evaluation and any translation required.  Applicants must request that evaluations be sent directly to the Education Registrar, Queen’s University, to be received no later than the application deadline.  Note that it can take upwards of six weeks for WES to receive official transcripts from a foreign academic institution, after which point the WES evaluation can take a week or longer to complete. Applicants should begin the evaluation process as early as possible. 

The Ontario College of Teachers set their own document and assessment requirements and policies, which may be different from the requirements noted in this policy. Completion of the BEd degree requirements does not guarantee a teaching certificate. All graduates who apply to the Ontario College of Teachers and must meet all their requirements. Current licensing requirements may be found at http://www.oct.ca/.
