Here in Canada you need to go through the following steps to become a teacher:
1. Four-year undergraduate degree in your specialization (or general studies for elementary teachers)
2. Next, a two-year undergraduate degree in Education (focusing on either elementary or a secondary specialization)

If you want to do a Master’s degree, it’s another two years of full-time studies (meaning someone with a Master’s degree in Education has spent eight years in post-secondary studies).
