How do I become a lawyer in Canada?
Becoming a lawyer in Canada is licensed province by province rather than nationally. You first complete an undergraduate degree, then a law degree (JD or LLB) at a recognised Canadian law school. You then meet the requirements of the law society in the province where you want to practise, which generally includes articling (a period of supervised legal work) or an approved practice program plus the provincial licensing examinations. Once you satisfy these and the law society's good-character requirements, you are called to the bar in that province; Quebec follows its own civil-law route through the Barreau du Quebec. Internationally trained lawyers must first obtain an NCA Certificate of Qualification.
Who regulates lawyers in Canada?
There is no single national bar; lawyers are licensed and regulated by the law society of each province or territory (e.g. the Law Society of Ontario, the Barreau du Quebec). The Federation of Law Societies of Canada coordinates national standards and runs the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA), which assesses internationally trained and non-Canadian-law-degree lawyers.
