Dear Qorax,
Hats off to you. I have been researching this topic last few weeks. You have compiled most important details very well. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
I had a question and would appreciate your reply.
I read "How do I enrol my child in school?" at http://www.settlement.org/sys/faqs_detail.asp?k=ELEMSEC_ENROL&faq_id=4001194 which does
not mention the need of SCHOOL TRANSFER CERTIFICATE.

How do I enrol my child in school?
You need to provide all of the following information to register your child for school:
- Proof of your child's age – A birth certificate or passport.
- Proof of address – A copy of a bank statement, telephone or electrical bill or apartment lease with your name and address.
- Proof of guardianship – Required if your child is under 18 years of age and is not living with a parent.
- Proof of student's immigration status* – One of:
a) Birth certificate
b) Passport
c) Permanent Resident Card
d) Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292) or Record of Landing (IMM 1000)
- Immunization record – Proof that your son or daughter has been immunized.

The said website does not mention School TC as a need to get school admission in Toronto.
My son has completed Grade 2 in an Indian school in the Middle East - Kuwait here and I plan to put my kid in Grade 3 in Toronto for the year starting Sep 2011.
Can u please let me know, if it is mandatory for me to have a SCHOOL TRANSFER CERTIFICATE from the Indian school here in Kuwait inorder to get admissions in Public school in Toronto.
Appreciate feedback and thanks.
