To practise law in Canada, students with LLB degrees from outside the country will be required to demonstrate their competence to the National Committee on Accreditation (the NCA) as having a law degree in the UK does not mean you have a law degree in Canada.
The NCA assesses the qualifications of individuals with legal qualifications obtained outside of Canada who wish to be admitted to a common law bar in Canada. Accreditation is decided on an individual basis, taking into account the particular circumstances of that individual’s educational and professional background. A key area of concern by the Committee is the qualities of grades attained during your degree. After reviewing an application, the NCA will issue an assessment result to the applicant listing the subjects and/or legal education that is required to ensure that the applicant’s legal education and training is comparable to that provided by an approved law school in Canada.
In order to obtain an NCA Certificate of Qualification, most applicants are required to demonstrate competence in a number of subjects. Applicants may demonstrate competence in one of three ways:
- You can apply to a law school in Canada to complete the remaining courses;
- You can do self study. Self study is where the NCA provides a syllabus to you and you study at home. The tests are organized 4 times a year (January, May, August and October) and they will be pass/fail.
- A combination of 1 and 2.
The number of tests that you will be required to take will depend on a number of factors, including:
- your results in each module of your Law degree.
- the degree programme that you have taken (i.e. the 2 year or the 3 year programme).
- whether you entered the Law program abroad straight from high school or not.
Every Law graduate who has studied outside of Canada must complete the 5 exams of Canadian content:
- Foundations of Canadian Law
- Canadian Criminal Law
- Canadian Constitutional Law
- Canadian Administrative Law
- Canadian Professional Responsibility
