Teaching General Education in the Youth Sector, Vocational Training and Adult Education
Teachers from the United States
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 the United States 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.
Here is a list of diplomas and documents that may be considered:
- Bachelor in a subject taught in Québec, accompanied by a Bachelor or a Master in Education/Teaching in the same subject or a Teacher Education Certification Program
- Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education
- Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education in a subject taught in Québec
- Bachelor of Science in Physical Education
