Background and Experience

The Director of CANTEACH has been working with Canadians training abroad for the last 19 years.

Many Canadians look to broaden their personal and professional horizons by studying for their Teaching Certificate abroad. Mike Johnson has taught and worked with Canadians studying abroad to obtain their teaching certificate for the last 19 years. CANTEACH choses only those Universities that liaise with governing boards like the Ontario College of Teachers, and other governing boards, for certification purposes in Canada. These Governing Boards evaluate the programs promoted by CANTEACH and it's member University programs meet the requirements to allow students to be able to become certified Teachers in Canada.
