Hi,

Can somebody tell what is the process to get the Canadian Teachers License? If I have PR, do I need to submit IELTS result for applying the license? If IELTS is required which mode and band? Please reply.

Depends on the province. Each licensing body will assess you degree, work experience and language skills. There are so many teachers in Canada so if you aren’t francophone don’t expect a full time job. It is based on seniority and I know many teachers on the supply list for years or drive for hours each way for work.

This is normally true but due to covid there is a shortage of teachers because of the mandated smaller class size and a large portion of students becoming virtual students. Next year or the year after we will hopefully return to normal where there is an oversupply of teachers except for some subjects like French and some STEM subjects and in certain more rural or remote regions or in areas where the cost of living is very high like Vancouver especially when BC teaching salaries are lower than, for example, Toronto where housing costs aren't as expensive and teachers are paid more.
