Home > Becoming A Teacher > International Graduates > Application Process
The information in this section describes the process of applying for a Ministry
of Education teaching certificate if you have completed a teacher education program
outside of Canada.
Download and review the
General Application Package. This package includes:
Please also review the country-specific
information for the country where you completed your teacher education program.
Print and complete the application form and the Consent to a Criminal Record Check
form, which are included within the
General Application Package. Mail us these two forms with the application
fee. Include any other documents you can, except those that must come directly from
an institution or individual.
Ask the applicable institutions and individuals to complete and send the relevant
documents directly to us. For example, your post-secondary institutions must send
us your official university transcripts and your character references must send
us the Confidential Character Reference forms. If these documents arrive at the
Branch before your application, we will keep them and add them to your file when
we receive your application.
Once we receive your application form and application fee, we will create a file
for you and place it in a queue based on the date we received it. If you included
your email address on the application form, we will email you within five to seven
business days to confirm that we have received your application and tell you your
file number.
Documents will arrive for your file at different times from different sources. We
will add each document to your file as it arrives (as long as it is properly identified
with your full name).
Please be patient as we review all files according to the date we receive your application
form. Once an evaluator has reviewed your file, we will send you a letter listing
any documents we are missing.
Once we receive all of the required documents, we will complete the evaluation.
If you are eligible for a certificate, you will also need to apply to the Teacher
Qualification Service (TQS) for your TQS category. Public school boards use this
category (which is based solely on your academic qualifications) as one element
in determining your salary level. When we send you your Ministry of Education teaching
certificate, we will also send a copy of your certificate to the TQS as they will
need this as part of your application to them. Please see the TQS website at
www.tqs.bc.ca for more information.
Once we have received all of the necessary documents for your application, it generally
takes eight to twelve weeks for us to review your application and mail you the results.
For this reason, we recommend that you start the application process before you
arrive in BC.
Since we cannot complete our evaluation until we receive all of the necessary documents,
you should contact the individuals and institutions who need to send us documents
as soon as possible.
Our evaluation time also depends on whether the documents we receive for your file
are complete and clear. If we need to ask you for additional information, this will
delay the evaluation.
Remember that not all applicants qualify for certification. If you are moving to
BC because you intend to teach here, you will want to receive the results of our
evaluation as soon as possible. If you must meet some additional requirements to
be eligible for a certificate, you will then be able to start on these requirements
without delay.
We cannot tell you what documents are missing from your application until you receive
a letter that will list these items for you. You may contact us to ask whether or
not we have received specific documents. We will respond to you within one to two
business days.
There are three possible outcomes of our evaluation. You may be:
All documents you send us as part of your application become the property of the
Teacher Regulation Branch. We will not release the original documents or return
any documents to you. We do not send documents to employers. In exceptional circumstances,
we will forward verified copies of diplomas and transcripts to a limited range of
educational bodies. You can find more information on the "Forwarding Documents to
a Third Party Request Form" on the
Forms and Publications page.
The application fee is non-refundable and you must complete your application within
one year. If you do not complete your application within one year, you will be asked
to submit a new application and fee with updated documents and information.

AMD Puts Out A Beta Catalyst Linux Driver For The Public
Published on 24 January 2011 09:21 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
23 Comments
NVIDIA puts out beta Linux graphics drivers quite often
as a means of soliciting testing prior to declaring a new stable GPU driver update, AMD does not but rather they rely upon their NDA-covered select beta testers to put each Catalyst release through its paces before declaring a stable update in their timed monthly manner. Today though it seems AMD has put out a Catalyst Beta driver that's targeting their workstation customers (those with the FirePro / FireGL / FireMV hardware) but as in their usual unified manner, it will work with any supported Radeon (R600+ GPU) as well.
With this driver, which is tagged as version 8.801 Beta and has a release date of today, there are no release notes attached. The only description is that this 117MB package includes the display driver, OpenCL run-time, DisplayPort and HDMI audio driver, and the ATI Catalyst Control Center. It works with x86 and x86_64 Linux.
This is interesting since usually AMD doesn't put out public beta drivers for the Linux Catalyst / fglrx package, but this time they have. However, the NDA-protected testers have already tested out the 8.80, 8.81, and 8.82 drivers and are beginning on putting an 8.83 beta through its Linux tests.
For those Radeon HD consumer customers, this week AMD is also expected to release their monthly Catalyst 11.1 driver update. Its features will be talked about at that time on Phoronix. That driver will carry at least one neat -- but currently experimental -- feature. For those interested in grabbing this beta driver until then, see
this forum thread
for details.

Weeping, Wailing And Imagery In Pyongyang For Kim Jong Il's Funeral
"Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans wept and wailed as they lined the major streets of Pyongyang Wednesday despite heavy snow," South Korea's Yonhap News reports, "as a hearse carrying the body of Kim Jong Il passed through the capital in a solemn funeral ceremony."
NPR's Anthony Kuhn, who is monitoring the news from Seoul, says that "for the first leg of the journey, Kim Jong Un walked at the front of a black limousine with his father's casket on the roof." The son, in his late 20s, is set to succeed his father as the nation's leader. Kim Jong Il died on Dec. 17. He was 69.
On Morning Edition today, Stephen Bosworth — who until recently was a U.S. special envoy to North Korea — told host Steve Inskeep that the image of Kim Jong Un walking beside that limousine with his hand on the fender, as a senior general walked on the other side, was "clearly an effort to establish a direct lineage between Kim Jong Il and his son."
"Giving this succession legitimacy is the major objective of what we've been seeing out of Pyongyang" today and since Kim Jong Il's death, Bosworth said.
Another expert makes much the same point to The Wall Street Journal:
"The point they're trying to make is the leadership is pretty stable," said Choi Jong-kun, professor of international relations at Yonsei University in Seoul. "The key thing they want to put out is that succession is going smoothly."
But Bosworth also said that it's likely Kim Jong Un will be, at least for some time, "the face of the regime" but not as powerful a figure as either his father or grandfather were. "The people who are going to be exercising collective decision-making have much more experience" than the new leader, Bosworth said, and it is unlikely that "senior generals and party leaders are going to defer to him the way that they at least seemed to defer to his father."
There's an Associated Press video report here.

Since late September blogs have been buzzing about Mark Driscoll's remark at the Convergent Conference labeling Rob Bell a heretic. Bell's broad popularity (due primarily to his books, NOOMA videos, and podcasts) make Driscoll's accusation all the more serious. Out of Ur has stayed out of the fray - until now. Rob Bell was in Raleigh, North Carolina last week as part of a 22-city tour. Leadership correspondent Chad Hall was there to report on the event.
When the babysitter arrived the night before Thanksgiving, she asked of our plans for the evening. Last week it was a concert, and three weeks before that we were headed to dinner and a movie. Tonight, my wife and I were going to?. I stumbled for words to describe Rob Bell's latest tour. I could tell by her eyes that she stopped caring about thirty seconds before I stopped trying to describe the event.
Bell's "the gods aren't angry" tour packed about two thousand souls into Raleigh's Memorial Auditorium for what wound up being a 90 minute sermon.
Bell is a popular writer, speaker and pastor, and I found it easy to see why he's so popular. As a friend commented after the event, "The dude has some mad communication skills." Wearing an all black outfit (save a bright white belt) that could have placed him as a member of Green Day, Bell presented an insane amount of information in a style that held my attention and quickened my spirit.
In a nutshell, Bell talked about how humans ? since the earliest cavewoman and caveman ? try to appease the forces that bring or withhold life. These human attempts led to formation of god concepts and religious practices, which grew ever more sacrificial and eventually led people to harm self and sacrifice children in bold attempts to assuage anxiety about the gods' opinions of us. Like some sort of Ken Burns without a camera, Bell incorporated tons of tidbits and insights from history, cultural anthropology, theology, sociology and literature to weave a compelling story of religiosity that's led to the anxiety-riddled human condition wherein we wonder, "Have I done enough?"
Into this system where humans guessed at what the gods want and then trying to give it, God spoke to Abram. Now the deity did the initiating. And the word from God was for Abram to forsake his father's household: which Bell equated with forsaking the old system of trying to appease the gods. Rather than trying to bless the gods, Abram's role was to be blessed by God. This was big revelation number one.
According to Bell, big revelation number two came in Leviticus. He said that this strange and seemingly backward third book of the Bible is best understood as a gift from God to help alleviate people's anxieties. Rather than leave us guessing and grasping for some elusive set of conditions by which God would be pleased, God presented Abram's lineage with an exact recipe for living and sacrificing, thus removing all doubt that God was not angry with them.
Bell said that big revelation number three came in Jesus. The sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus became corrupt and only led to more anxiety than it relieved. So at just the right time, God revealed that he never really needed our sacrifices anyway. Using quite a bit of humor, irony and pure wit, Bell painted a caricature god who is not complete without what people can provide or perform. Using various sayings from Psalms, Micah, Jesus, Paul's letters and Hebrews, he drew an alternate picture of the divine: a God who is not dependent on what we do, but who freely loves and pours blessing on us.

Following the vote to block the reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act in the Senate today, People For the American Way President Ralph G. Neas had the following statement:
People For the American Way Foundation and the Rutherford Institute filed a joint amicus brief in the case Padilla v. Hanft in support of a ruling by U.S. District Judge Henry Floyd, which found that the government could not indefinitely detain Jose Padilla, an American seized on American soil and detained without charge since 2002 – instead it must either charge him with a crime or release him. The joint brief, drafted with the Chicago office of Sidley & Austin, was filed in the U.S.
The U.S. Senate confirmed President Bush's nomination of longtime confidant Alberto Gonzales to replace John Ashcroft as United States Attorney General, in spite of a public record that raises serious questions about his commitment to constitutional principles and the rule of law. The 60-36 vote reflected significant opposition for an executive branch nominee, and the second highest vote against an attorney general nominee since 1925.
Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales was narrowly approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which voted 10-8 along party lines to send his nomination to the floor. People For the American Way President Ralph G.
PFAW has sent U.S. Senators a statement strongly opposing the confirmation of White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales as U.S. Attorney General. The statement reviews Gonzales' repeated failures as a public official to meet the standards that should be expected of the nation's highest law enforcement officer.
People For the American Way Foundation President Ralph G. Neas decried a decision by CBS and NBC network officials to refuse a 30-second ad produced by the United Church of Christ to promote the denomination's commitment to welcoming everyone. People For the American Way Foundation is urging activists to sign a petition to the networks protesting their decisions.
PFAW President Ralph G. Neas: John Ashcroft was one of the most destructive attorneys general in the modern era. His tenure was marked by a severe erosion of Americans' constitutional liberties and a diminished commitment to civil rights enforcement. His tenure at the Justice Department would have been even more damaging if the Supreme Court had not rejected his claims that the President could unilaterally suspend American citizens constitutional protections.

Where in the world was Demi Moore over Thanksgiving weekend?
Less than two weeks after announcing her split from Ashton Kutcher, the 49-year-old actress was a no-show when her youngest daughter, Tallulah, 17, made her debutante debut at a Saturday evening ball in Paris.
PHOTOS: Demi Moore's scary slim-down
(Her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, was present for Tallulah's big night in Paris, as were Tallulah's siblings Rumer, 23, and Scout, 20.)
It turns out that the newly single Moore was on home turf in Los Angeles, having dinner with a male pal at the celeb-friendly Sunset Tower.
PHOTOS: Ashton and Demi in happier times
A source tells Us Weekly that Moore dined with Hollywood florist Eric Butterbaugh. "They are BFFs," the source says. "Totally platonic friends."
Indeed, Butterbaugh tagged along with Moore when she went on a somber camping trip with Kutcher, 33, in October immediately following allegations of his affair with Sara Leal, 22.
VIDEO: Sara Leal opens up to Us about her night with Ashton
But over dinner on Saturday with Butterbaugh, Moore "seemed fine, in a good mood and laughing," the source observed. "She was just with her friend having a nice night out."
A diner told New York Post's Page Six, which first reported the Moore sighting, that "Demi looked good, and like she was ready to be seen out. She was in deep conversation with her male companion."

Box 797 Hershey, PA 17033-0797 RE: Species Impact Review (SIR) - Rare, Candidate, Threatened and Endangered Species Proposed Rush Landfill- State 1 Snow Shoe Townships, Centre County, Pennsylvania Dear Mr. Perera: I have examined the map accompanying your recent correspondence which shows the location for the proposed above referenced project. Based on records maintained in the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) database and the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) files and databases, the following rare or protected species are known from the vicinity of the project site: Common Name Scientific Name P A Status Timber rattlesnake Crotalus horridus candidate Timber rattlesnakes occur in the forested, mountainous regions of the Commonwealth. They prefer forested areas to forage for small mammals (e.g., mice and chipmunks) and talus, south to south- eastern facing rocky slopes for hibernating and other thermoregulatory activities. The timber rattlesnake is threatened by overbunting, poaching and habitat alteration. Given the proximity ofthe project to known timber rattlesnake den areas, we recommend that a timber rattlesnake habitat assessment be conducted in the project area by a recognized/qualified timber rattlesnake surveyor, We have included a list of PFBC qualified/recognized surveyors and habitat assessment protocol for your convenience. Upon completion of the habitat survey, the recognized/qualified rattlesnake biologist is to submit a report to this office (Natural Diversity Section) for review and comment. The habitat survey report should include color and aerial photographs ofthe project area and a description of habitats occurring within the immediate area to be developed, as well as the surrounding area. Potential timber rattlesnake foraging, denning and/or basking areas should be photographed and mapped accordingly. In addition, the report should also include detailed project plans and maps with a description of the proposed work (including access roads), project impacts and alternatives. Pending the review of this information, a survey targeting the presence of the timber rattlesnake in the project area andlor other project modifications may be requested. SIR S 14706 JOHNSTON PAGE 2 In any future correspondence with us regarding this specific project, please refer to the SIR number above.

Beijing dismisses calls to free Liu Xiaobo
Appeals to free laureate by more than 134 Nobel winners, hundreds of activists fall on deaf earsLiu Xiaobo and his wife Liu Xia
- ucanews.com reporter, Hong Kong
- China
- December 6, 2012
The Chinese government has dismissed a letter signed by 134 Nobel laureates calling for the release of 2010 Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo.
"China is firmly opposed to the outside world interfering in China's judicial sovereignty and internal affairs in any form," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei told a press briefing yesterday.
"Liu Xiaobo was sentenced to imprisonment by China's judicial authorities for violating the law," he said. Liu was jailed in for 11 years in 2009 for alleged subversion.
The Nobel laureates along with hundreds of Chinese activists had called on Communist Party secretary-general Xi Jinping in two separate letters to free Liu.
Both letters were made public on Tuesday ahead of Human Rights Day which falls on Sunday and just before Chinese writer Mo Yan receives his Nobel Prize for literature..
In their letter, the 134 laureates also called for the release of Liu's wife, Liu Xia, who is under house arrest.
"We respectfully urge you to release Dr Liu Xiaobo, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and his wife, Liu Xia," the letter said.
No government "can restrict freedom of thought and association without having a negative effect on important human innovation," they stressed.
Among the laureates who signed the letter were Archbishop Desmond Tutu from South Africa and Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.
In the other letter 297 mainland intellectuals, writers, activists and others petitioned Xi, the Politburo and the National People's Congress to start legal proceedings to rectify the wrongful conviction of Liu and to stop isolating his wife.
It also called for the release of all those jailed because of their political views, expression of ideas and religious faith, and demanded an end to the surveillance of dissidents.
"The existence of prisoners of conscience does not help China establish an image of a responsible country. Ending this situation is an important criterion for China to move toward political civilization," they said.
"China is facing many complex problems. Reform is not easy. Let's do it together," they added.

DEFINITION of 'Price By Volume Chart - PBV'
A horizontal histogram plotted on the chart of a security, which corresponds to the volume of shares traded at a specific price level. Price by volume histograms are found on the Y-axis and are used by technical traders to predict areas of support and resistance.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Price By Volume Chart - PBV'
Large price by volume bars are used to illustrate high buying and selling interest, and they are often regarded as a sign that the given price level will act as a strong area of support or resistance. It is common to see the price of an asset face little resistance when traveling between levels that have small PBV bars, but pushing the price past areas with large PBV bars is substantially more difficult.

There's a reason why I've been feeling impatient about batteries and supercapacitors according to an April 2, 2015 news item on Nanowerk,
The dramatic rise of smartphones, tablets, laptops and other personal and portable electronics has brought battery technology to the forefront of electronics research. Even as devices have improved by leaps and bounds, the slow pace of battery development has held back technological progress.
Now, researchers at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute have successfully combined two nanomaterials to create a new energy storage medium that combines the best qualities of batteries and supercapacitors.
An April 1, 2015 UCLA news release, which originated the news item, describes the challenge and how the scientists addressed it (Note: A link has been removed),
Supercapacitors are electrochemical components that can charge in seconds rather than hours and can be used for 1 million recharge cycles. Unlike batteries, however, they do not store enough power to run our computers and smartphones.
The new hybrid supercapacitor stores large amounts of energy, recharges quickly and can last for more than 10,000 recharge cycles. The CNSI scientists also created a microsupercapacitor that is small enough to fit in wearable or implantable devices. Just one-fifth the thickness of a sheet of paper, it is capable of holding more than twice as much charge as a typical thin-film lithium battery.
The study, led by Richard Kaner, distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry and materials science and engineering, and Maher El-Kady, a postdoctoral scholar, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The microsupercapacitor is a new evolving configuration, a very small rechargeable power source with a much higher capacity than previous lithium thin-film microbatteries," El-Kady said.
The new components combine laser-scribed graphene, or LSG — a material that can hold an electrical charge, is very conductive, and charges and recharges very quickly — with manganese dioxide, which is currently used in alkaline batteries because it holds a lot of charge and is cheap and plentiful. They can be fabricated without the need for extreme temperatures or the expensive "dry rooms" required to produce today's supercapacitors.
"Let's say you wanted to put a small amount of electrical current into an adhesive bandage for drug release or healing assistance technology," Kaner said. "The microsupercapacitor is so thin you could put it inside the bandage to supply the current. You could also recharge it quickly and use it for a very long time."
The researchers found that the supercapacitor could quickly store electrical charge generated by a solar cell during the day, hold the charge until evening and then power an LED overnight, showing promise for off-grid street lighting.
"The LSG–manganese-dioxide capacitors can store as much electrical charge as a lead acid battery, yet can be recharged in seconds, and they store about six times the capacity of state-of-the-art commercially available supercapacitors," Kaner said. "This scalable approach for fabricating compact, reliable, energy-dense supercapacitors shows a great deal of promise in real-world applications, and we're very excited about the possibilities for greatly improving personal electronics technology in the near future."
Here's a link to and a citation for the paper,
Engineering three-dimensional hybrid supercapacitors and microsupercapacitors for high-performance integrated energy storage by Maher F. El-Kady, Melanie Ihns, Mengping Li, Jee Youn Hwang, Mir F. Mousavi, Lindsay Chaney, Andrew T. Lech, and Richard B. Kaner. Published online before print March 23, 2015, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1420398112 PNAS March 23, 2015
This paper is behind a paywall.
One last bit, Dexter Johnson in an April 3, 2015 post on his Nanoclast blog (on the IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] website) provides some insight into the research,
The story of graphene in supercapacitors can be represented by the old adage: its greatest strength is its greatest weakness. Of course, the name of the game in supercapacitor energy density is surface area. The greater the surface area, the greater number of ions you can store on the electrodes. While graphene has a theoretical surface area of 2630 square meters per gram, this density is only possible with a single, standalone graphene sheet.
But you can't actually use a standalone sheet for the electrode of a supercapacitor because it will result in a very low volumetric capacitance. ….
So, while the 2-D characteristic of graphene may limit its usable surface area for supercapacitors, it does offer a way to make supercapacitors with small dimensions, something that would be impossible with activated carbon.
It is this strength that the CNSI researchers are aiming to exploit in their supercapacitor, which is small enough to be used as a wearable or implantable device. …
I recommend reading Dexter's post in its entirety.

Security necessities with regards to purchasers is also given through agreements or contracts between the parties indicating the set of risks, necessities and consequences for signatories within the event of unauthorized speech act.
Security of Agreements with Third Parties
The security neutral should supervise third party access to your organization's scientific discipline infrastructures. within the event such access should be provided to a 3rd party among the skilled context, the safety neutral should appraise the risks so as to work out the implications on security measures and necessities. The neutral should conjointly validate the measures to be applied and have them outlined within the contract with the third party in question; any contract ought to conjointly embrace the set of known risks. once such instances of third party access need the involvement of different participants, the safety neutral should embrace a clause within the access contract with the third party specifying all different licensed participants in addition because the conditions governing their access.
In the case of sub-contracting or outsourcing, clauses on a way to address and manage security risks, measures and procedures for info systems, networks, technological infrastructures, and sensitive info and information should be enclosed within the contract between the parties. For personnel with access to sensitive or counselling, a stipulation that get security clearance associate degreed guarantee their commitment to the strictest confidentiality by sign language an agreement must conjointly to be enclosed within the contract.
Independent Review of data Security
An internal and freelance review of data security should be conducted periodically:
Following a review of the safety policy;
once important changes are created to the organization's info resources or technological infrastructures;
within the event of a modification to the organization's business or legal context.read more from http://www.cio.com/article/2902454/foxconn-to-enter-information-security-realm-with-joint-venture.html
The objective of this review is to verify if the approach (tracking of security objectives, policies, procedures and processes with reference to security) preserved by the organization to manage and implement its info security is adequate and effective.
