Information Sessions

The College regularly offers Information Sessions for applicants who want more information about the application process.

In these Information Sessions, an evaluator from the College will explain:

• the documents we require as part of your application,
• the general application process and
• the potential evaluation results.

The evaluator will not review any of your documents or predict what your evaluation results may be.

Information Sessions will only be useful for you to attend if:

• you have completed a teacher education program and
• you are qualified to teach in the public school system in the jurisdiction where you completed your teacher training.

Space is limited. If you would like to attend an Information Session, please reserve your space by phoning us at 604.731.8170 (extension 0) or sending an email to reception@bcct.ca

Preparing for the session

Before attending an Information Session, please download the General Application Package. Read the information in the guide, write down any questions and bring the application package and your questions with you.

Arrive early to check in

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the Information Session begins to check in at our reception desk. Please do not be late as we will not be able to admit you to the session.

No children, please

We do not allow children to attend these sessions.

Where we are located

We are located at suite 400, 2025 West Broadway in Vancouver.

Our office is on West Broadway between Maple Street and Arbutus Street. To get to the parkade beneath our building, turn into the lane behind our building from Maple Street and turn left at the end of the lane. You can park for free in any parking stall marked "Reserved Visitor - BC College of Teachers" (stall numbers 10, 11, 12, 15 and 17). If no free parking stalls are available, you can pay to park in the other stalls. Take the elevator to the fourth floor and check in at the reception desk.

Leaving an application

If you wish, you may leave your application with us at the end of the Information Session. You must submit your application fee with your application form.

We recommend that you include any other documents you can when you leave your application with us. For example, if you have verified copies of your personal identification documents and immigration documents, please submit them.

Please note that many documents must be sent directly to us from institutions or individuals. For example, the universities you have attended must send us your transcripts and your referees must send us the completed character reference forms. When these arrive, we will add them to your file.
