Frequently Asked Questions Do you have to be Catholic to apply? The board is a denominational employer and preference is given to practicing catholic teachers. Non-Catholics are welcome to apply and their hiring will depend on who else applies. I don’t have a current pastoral reference. What should I do? The Board prefers an up to date reference indicating that you are a practicing Catholic. A reference from your former or ‘home’ priest is acceptable, but not preferable, if a current reference is not available. Please visit our website to download the faith reference portfolio.

Is there a deadline for applying Is there a deadline for applying? There is no deadline however, you are advised to register with applytoeducation.com as soon as you have all of the supporting documents ready. I don’t have all of the documents required for a complete application portfolio. What should I do? Graduating students will not have their Ontario college of teachers certification yet. A letter from the faculty confirming enrollment in the program is acceptable. Submit all other required documentation as it is received i.e. practicum reports, reference letters.  

Do I also need to apply to individual schools. No Do I also need to apply to individual schools? No. The interview and selection process is done centrally through the human resources services department. Can I supply teach in May and June before I get my certification? This is only done in emergency situations where there are no certified teachers available to supply teach. This is usually in areas where there is a short supply of certified teachers (i.e. French).
