Teachers from France

The evaluation of applications for a teaching licence is performed exclusively by the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec (MEQ). It is based on the analysis of all of the documents provided by candidates as proof of teacher education received in France and that enabled them to teach there legally (diplomas, transcripts, etc.).

The information on this page is not exhaustive and is given for information purposes only.

It does not replace, in any way whatsoever, the decision of the MEQ with regard to applications for a teaching licence.
