Absolutely. Hugo85 is misinformed. In Canada, to complete a proper teaching certification you go to Teacher's College which usually takes 2 years (may depend on province, not sure) after your BA, which can be in any subject. Not sure if a BA is a firm requisite, but Teacher's College requires 4 years of prior post secondary study, which equals a BA in Canada or the US. So in effect, to become a 'real' teacher, most Canadians study for 6 years after high school.
