Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What certificate
do I require in Manitoba?
The basic teaching
certificate in Manitoba is the Professional certificate, which entitles the
holder to teach any subject, at any grade level (K-12).
If you are living
outside of Manitoba at the time you apply, you may be issued a Statement of
Eligibility if you meet the minimum requirements for certification. This letter
states the type of certificate, as well as the salary classification, for which
you qualify. This letter allows you to negotiate a contract with a school
division or district in Manitoba but is NOT a teaching
certificate. Once we receive notification that you are employed in Manitoba a
teaching certificate can be issued.
The minimum
requirements for certification are regulated under the Education Administration
Act. The Regulation can be accessed at http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/regs/pdf/e010-515.88.pdf
The minimum
requirements for a Permanent Professional Certificate in Manitoba are an
undergraduate degree beyond the Manitoba Grade 12 standing, plus a two-year

certification within the Early/Middle Years stream an applicant must have
completed a major teachable area of 18 credit hours and a minor teachable area

If you are a
Canadian citizen, or a permanent resident as defined in the Immigration Act (
Canada), and you meet all of the minimum requirements for certification in
Manitoba, you would be eligible to receive a permanent certificate.
If you do not meet
the requirements for permanent certification and receive a provisional
certificate, you are required to complete additional course work within a
specified period of time in order to be eligible for the permanent certificate.
If you hold a work
visa, and you meet all of the minimum requirements for certification in
Manitoba, you are eligible to receive a provisional certificate valid until
your work visa expires. You would be required to present another valid work
visa in order to apply for an extension to your certificate. You must meet the
requirements for Canadian Citizenship or Landed Immigrant Status in order to be
eligible for a permanent certificate.
A provisional
professional certificate may be issued where a person holds:
- a degree, diploma or certificate recognized
by the jurisdiction in which it was completed and
- has at least 120 credit hours of recognized
coursework in a degree program that includes all of the teachable areas,
and
- a minimum of 30 credit hours of
professional course work,
- including
student teaching.
A provisional
certificate is issued for a period of three years. An individual must complete
the requirements for permanent certification as outlined at the time that the
provisional certificate is issued. Applications for an extension to a
provisional certificate may be made at the end of the three year period. Only
one three-year extension can be granted. No salary penalties result from provisional
certification.
In Manitoba, there
are seven levels of salary classification. In general, each classification
represents a year of university studies beyond Manitoba Grade 12 or its
equivalent. However, there are some restrictions on the type of studies
accepted for classification. For example, to be considered for salary
classification, courses must be taken within a degree program and the degree
must be conferred. In other words, 5 courses taken at various universities, and
in different programs, would not be credited towards your salary
classification. For more information, please contact the Professional Certification Unit.
In general,
experience gained in a public school system while holding a valid teaching
certificate in that jurisdiction is recognized in Manitoba.
To have experience
recognized, the employing authority where you taught must complete the form
entitled, “Verification of Teaching Experience”. A letter stating the start and termination date, the number of full days
taught in each school year, as well as a statement as to whether you were full
or part time, would also be acceptable.
Note: Experience reported on the claim form but not supported by an
employer verification containing all the required information will NOT be
credited or considered in the evaluation.
There is no
central employment agency in Manitoba for teachers. You must negotiate directly
with the school division or district, private school or other employing authority.
View the list of employing authorities, as well as maps of their locations within the province.
