Appealing TESL Ontario Certification Decisions

Any applicant who is denied the TESL Ontario certification shall have the right to appeal the decision to the TESL Ontario Appeals Review Committee within 60 days from the date of the certification decision email.

How to File an Appeal

1. Print, complete, and sign Form A-10: Appeal Application.
2. Submit the completed form along with all supporting documents to the TESL Ontario by email or mail:
   Email: administration@teslontario.org
   Mailing address: TESL Ontario, 27 Carlton Street, Suite 405, Toronto, Ontario, M5B 1L2

Please note that—once an appeal application is submitted—all correspondence between you (the applicant) and TESL Ontario will be handled by the TESL Ontario office manager.

Appeal Application Review Process

Appeal applications are reviewed by the TESL Ontario Appeals Review Committee in 90 days from the date of receipt. The applicant may be asked to submit additional information or documentation before a decision is made. Once the Appeals Review Committee has reached a decision, TESL Ontario notifies the applicant by email.

If the appeal is granted, TESL Ontario processes the certification application and refunds the appeal application fee.

If the appeal is rejected, TESL Ontario disposes of the certification application and keeps the appeal application fee. The applicant may submit a new certification application to TESL Ontario at any time.

Appeals Review Committee’s decisions are final.
