Visa & Certificate
Authentication

For work visas in South Korea, China, Vietnam, and the UAE, your certificate must be government-authenticated. OnTESOL's TESL Canada recognition means our certificates qualify for official authentication through Global Affairs Canada — accepted worldwide. Learn more →

⚠️ Planning to teach in Asia or the Middle East?

Many TEFL providers cannot offer government authentication because they lack national accreditation. OnTESOL's TESL Canada–recognized certificates are eligible for authentication by Global Affairs Canada, ensuring your visa application is accepted. This is a requirement — not an optional extra.
