Calgary, 15 January 2024 – The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary and the Alberta Ministry of Education will hold an information session on the accreditation of Filipino internationally educated teachers in the province of Alberta on 24 January 2024 at 5:30 PM (Mountain Time) via Zoom platform.

Philippine Consul General Zaldy B. Patron and Alberta Minister for Education Demetrios Nicolaides will speak at the online forum.

The forum will inform the Filipino internationally educated teachers currently residing in Alberta how to navigate the province’s accreditation process, so they can eventually work as full-fledged teachers in Alberta.

Officials of the Ministry of Education will serve as the resource persons.

This online forum is part of the Philippine Consulate General’s continuing advocacy for the easier recognition of credentials of Filipino professionals in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

After the signing of the Philippines-Alberta MOU on the Recruitment of Filipino Nurses on 6 October 2022, the Filipino internationally educated nurses (IENs) in Alberta have greatly benefited from the now streamlined process in the accreditation of the IENs in Alberta. The Filipino IENs can now also apply for financial grants from the $7.8 million bursary program that was created after the signing of the MOU.
