Thiru Thirukkumaran received his certificate to teach in Ontario in September after launching a months-long appeal of the original decision to deny him a licence.

"That will remain. That never ends," said Thirukkumaran.

Thirukkumaran, who came to Canada in 2012 and is now a permanent resident, says both were accepted by Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, east of Toronto — where he graduated with a bachelor of education in 2020— and by York University, where he is working toward a master of science degree.

"Every educator … who wants to help children and students deserves a place in the system," said Ferenczy, who wrote a letter to the OCT in support of Thirukkumaran's certification.Thirukkumaran works at West Hill Collegiate Institute in Scarborough. While he started teaching last spring, he says he only started getting paid in September after he got his certificate.

"They face adverse-effect discrimination in the way that the college requests information, upholds a credential, interprets academic experience. And so those are areas that need to continue to be worked on," she said.West Hill Collegiate Institute principal Trevor Bullen, the principal at West Hill Collegiate Institute, says the board brought Thirukkumaran on as a long-time occasional math teacher as soon as he was certified.
