What is a TESL Canada recognized teacher training program?
According to their website:
The TESL Canada teacher training program recognition process was set up to ensure that teachers have access to a certain standard of teacher education in Canada. This is for the benefit of the entire field—ESL learners, teachers, employers and programs. In addition, TESL Canada program recognition supports the TESL Canada professional certification process, ensuring that the adjudicator for that process knows that applicants have taken teacher training programs that meet national professional standards.

Why should I take a TESL Canada recognized program?
The simple answer is that it will open more opportunities to you in the future. If you are planning on going overseas to teach, you will be able to get work as an English teacher upon your return to Canada. If you take one of the short courses, this option will be closed to you. Also, you will get a stamp of quality on your certificate that will help you find a better teaching position.
