Note 8: Teach in Ontario Project

The Teach in Ontario Project began in 2004 as a bridging project funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. The project was designed to help internationally educated teachers complete the teacher certification process and prepare for employment in Ontario’s publicly funded schools. In 2005, funding responsibility for the project was transferred to the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. Beginning in 2007, funding for Teach in Ontario services was provided jointly by the provincial government through the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration and the federal government through Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The project funding ended on June 30, 2009. Teach in Ontario was a partnership consisting of the College, as the lead recipient in the funding agreement, Local Agencies Serving Immigrants (LASI) World Skills, the Ontario Teachers’ Federation, Skills for Change and Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women.
