Fee Information for Graduates of Canadian Teacher Education Programs (non-BC)
You must pay a non-refundable application fee to begin the application process. If
you are eligible for a certificate, you will also need to pay your annual fee
to receive your certificate.
Non-refundable application fee
Please include your payment of $245 with your application
form if you are submitting a paper-based application. Online applicants will be required
to pay electronically before we accept your application. We cannot create a file for you
until the application fee is paid.
Annual fee
You must also pay an annual fee of $80 to receive your certificate.
Once you are a certified teacher, you will need to pay the annual fee by May 31
each year to maintain a valid certificate. Please note that boards and authorities are required to
deduct the annual fee from the certificate holders they employ.
You must also pay an annual fee to keep your certificate valid. For the
first year that you are a certified teacher, you pay a pro-rated fee based on
when you become a certified teacher. We will not issue your certificate until
you have paid this fee.
