Thank you so much for this excellent video breaking down the process step by step on how foreign lawyers can qualify in Ontario, Canada. I really appreciate it and I am sure others do too. This video is extremely helpful and easy to understand.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit what about immigration requirements though? How does immigration fall into all of these steps that one must take? Because at the end of the day I am sure most persons would want to stay in Canada and/or gain permanent residency.
Hey. I graduated from University of London in 2018 through it’s distance learning program(in Pakistan) and from the past 2 year I have been practicing as a full time lawyer. Now I have decided to move back to Canada. I was gonna apply for my assessment but due to COVID-19 everything is locked down so I haven’t been able to do that yet. So basically my question is when it comes to the NCA exams is the Osgoode LLM(Canadian common law) any good like will I still have to sit for the exams even after doing the LLM program from Osgoode. Is it Possible that after getting my assessment done from NCA instead of sitting for the exams I just go ahead with the LLM program. I’ve also heard that the NCA usually asks candidates who have gotten their degree through UOL distance learning program to do 2years of study at a law school in Canada and since you also graduate from University of London can you guide me on this. Is there an option like for UOL candidates to either sit for the exams or just choose a program like that of Osgoode. Or Will I have to do both take the exam for some courses and also be asked to take courses at a law school. I will be very thankful to you if you could guide me on all this.
Very good question! I’m from Bangladesh and I’m a UOL Graduate and just like you I’m also looking for answers for the existing questions you have. Hopefully Ms Rabeea will give us a brief answer :)
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. I am going to try my best to answer your questions. 1) The LLM will cover all your NCA requirements if you take the courses assigned to you by the NCA. 2) The NCA can ask you to take courses in class as opposed to just taking the exams if you didn't study in class. If you studied at a University you will have to ask them to send a letter stating that you had completed your law degree by studying in class. I hope this is helpful!
Rabeea Khalid - Law Study Kit In your case did you have to complete two years of LLM from Osgoode or did the 1 year Canadian common law llm suffice? Thank you
Hi Rabeea, thanks for the video it was quite informative. I had a question. Since my graduation marks is 56.15% I have been told by various people that I can’t fit into the eligibility criteria of the universities that give LLM programs.I have been suggested to go down the route of talking Post Graduate Diploma in a Law program then look for work as Paralegal and clear the NCA papers. Do you think it is worthwhile? I have 3years of work experience as a lawyer in India.
3:26 I was a little confused! Will the NCA ask someone to go to law school? I thought law school was one option rather than a must. And if they ask someone, is it a must or can they just write the NCA exams?
Hi Rabeea, given the fact that the LLM application window opens almost a year before the actual start date for a fall class, and that the NCA assessment is reqd to take the courses accordingly while on an LLM, how could one plan for things if in the final year of LLB at the time of applying to a Canadian law school for an LLM? As I don't have the QLD (as a result of being a final year LLB student) at the time of applying for a seat on the LLM class of the next fall, is there a workaround on applying for an NCA assessment? Thanks!
Hello, thank you for making this video. I wanted to ask you something? I am a South African Student that will finish my LLB ( Bachelor’s in Law ) and my honours in law next year. What will be my process to practice law in Canada . Do I need to do LLM… what is LLM and who is required to have LLM ?
hey. great video. i have been practising law in India for 5 years and i want to practise exclusively in Arbitration Law in Canada. so can you shed light on that? also, is it mandatory to get the NCA assessment done? and if yes, is it mandatory to study LLM if they ask me to do it?? thanks in advance

Hi i have graduated from law this year itself in india. So do i have to give my licensing exam (all india bar association exam) or i can apply for my NCA assessment without licensing????
You can apply for an NCA assessment if you have a qualifying law degree. You don't necessarily need to be called to the bar in the country you are from.
Hi ! I have all my legal qualifications from the uk .. my llb lpc and llm . I practice at the bar in Trinidad which is a common law jurisdiction. I’m interested in coming to Canada and I’d really appreciate some input as I would like to be able to love and work there as an attorney. Thanks for the video.
if i will complete my LL.M degree from Canada,though my LL.B degree was from a different country. Is it necessary to face NCA exam? Or LL.M degree is enough for eligibility of bar admission?
It depends on which type of LLM you complete. There are two different types of LLMs. One that fulfills your NCA requirements and others that are only for specialization.
Hello Rebeea! I had enrolled to the paralegal education program at Humber College. I want to know about how am I suppose to get registered at Law Society of Ontario as a paralegal after completing my paralegal diploma course.
Hi, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the paralegal licensing process. I would recommend asking a Paralegal to guide you or I will try my best to interview a paralegal on my channel.
Great video! I'm glad I found you, your videos are so helpful. Just a question: what if I have a civil law background? How many courses would I need to take? Also how do you take the courses, can you take them even if you're not in canada?
Thank you! It depends. People with civil law backgrounds tend to usually get more than 5 courses. As of now, You can take NCA exams online, I am not sure if this will continue after the COVID-19 pandemic.
I have a few questions please, so when you’re assigned these courses by NAC and you go to law school to take them, do you apply for a jd or the llm or is the llm taking a longer period of time due to the fact that you are expected to take the courses given by nac (this part is just really confusing) cause I do not know if I’m applying for the JD or the LLM) please reply thank you so much
Hi Rabeea! You summarised a lot of things through this video...however I wanted to ask if you are a fresh graduate from law school do you need bar council certificate for applying for NCA assessment...will that matter in terms of number of subjects that will be assigned
It is not necessary to have a Bar license to apply for an NCA assessment. You only need a qualifying law degree. The bar license might affect the assigned number of subjects but this really is a case by case determination.
I don't have pre-law education. So is that a problem ? And also is there any alternative for IELTS ? Is there any foundation course i could take instead giving the language test ?
Hi ,your video was quite helpful. I am in Nigeria, can I apply for the NCA assessment and write the exams in Nigeria? Or must I be in Canada to write the exams?Thanks
Thnx for such a wonderful video Please answer my few questions- Q1 after qualifying the NCA should one enroll in paralegal course till he hasn't appear for bar exams. Q.2 As an international lawyer as per you do enough opportunities exist for working in good law firms in canada
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. I am not sure why you would need to enroll in a paralegal course. The NCA exams are for individuals who want to become lawyers and not paralegals. For your second question, I will have to make a video because I have a lot to say about that :) I hope this is helpful!
Rabeea Khalid - Law Study Kit I think a lot of people would love that video, No one has ever talked about that and I know very much people that would like to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
Hi . Thanks a lot for this video . Its really helpful . I had a doubt . I completed my LLM from UK. Is there any concession because of it during the NCA assessment ?
For lpp we get student work visa, so do we have to pay GIC for that? After lpp, if we take admission into any other course , will they ask me to pay GIC again? So any gic u paid for lpp or any other course?
I have done LLB from punjab university Chandigarh India. And LLM from university of Kent Canterbury England. I want to upgrade studies in canada as i live here now. How many exams do i have to take? Please enlighten me
Unfortunately, I can't tell you how many exams you will have to take. Everyone's case is different and there are many different factors that the NCA considers. You should apply for an assessment in order to find this out.
Hello! This video was really helpful. I have completed my LLB from India. As per my NCA assessment report, they have asked me to complete law or JD from Canadian law school. They have not considered my law degree since the name of my college as appearing on the Bar Council of India list is not updated till the year of my graduation. When I asked NCA if I can complete LLM in Canadian law then will I meet the NCA requirements, they said that they will not issue a Certificate of Qualification on the basis of LLM. I am not sure what I should do next. Can you please guide on this?
From my understanding you should contact the NCA and tell them exactly what you have written here. They should be able to guide you regarding the next steps. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any such case so I won't be able to give you an answer.
Hi ma'am After LLM-CL , student may have one year working permit ,the process of licencing take 2to3 years. How can a student get more than 1 year to complete the total process plz ma'am clear this thing . I am totally confuse . Thank you .

Hi Rabeea. I am a law student in Tunisia. I'm planning to enroll in a LLM in canada next year. Will I still have to go through the NCA certificate? Thank you
Hi - The tuition fee for an LLM in Toronto ranges from $35,000 to $56,000 (some schools charge additional fees on top of tuition). Please take a look at this for additional costs: nca.legal/costs-and-timelines/. I am in Toronto so I can only speak for Universities here. You can either look at Osgoode Hall Law School or University of Toronto if you wish to fulfill your NCA requirements at a Canadian Law School.
Hi. This is Prem from india. I am a law student and I would like to know the 8 NCA papers which I have to write for assessment. Is it same for everyone or it changes according to individual. Thanks in advance.
Hi I just want to know is it necessary to get working experience in law to apply nca Coz I am having LLB degree but am not a lawyer in my country, am doing my law college exams nowadays
Hey! Just found this video and i'm so glad that I did. I have a small query. I was a fresh grad law grad from India and am already in Canada on a work permit. I hadn't taken the Bar before I moved out here. Would I still be eligible to submit an application to NCA and get accredited for my law degree?
Thank you for the great information. I wish you a good luck , i live in Egypt after sending my papers to the NCA should i take the exams on campus of Canada ? Should it be like a student visa ? What about the IELTS score and LSAT score ? And is there a certain GPA needed ? Thanks
There is no deadline. You can send them as soon as possible. After the NCA receives the documents they take about six to eight weeks to process your application and email you your assessment.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit do i need to submit certified copies or notarized documents along with transcripts ? What happens if i only submit transcripts ?
Can you please tell me that.. We can give NCA exams in india only? And after that we need to give bar exam in so after that we need to come to canada.. there is no need to study in canada a course like llm? Just pass Nca and then bar exams for getting registered..?
Hi - Your NCA assessment will tell you if you need to take the LLM or you can take NCA courses on your own in India. Once you have fulfilled the NCA requirements you have to fulfill the experiential training component requirement and also take the lawyer licensing exams (Bar exams). Please read this if you'd like a bit more detail on this: www.mcss.gov.on.ca/documents/en/immigration/oi_en_law_cm.pdf
You explain a lot thank you for this clearance...! I have a doubt that i have a different countrie law degree and i have to practice as a lawyer in a Canada...! How do i do this...?
hii..i completed my llb degree in india ...and now how can i apply for canada ...or which course should i take in canada ...plz tell me the whole process
Hii, could you please let me know about what kind of visa is required. If I'm studying llm in Canada and then I want to apply for NCA what visa would I be requiring throughout?
Hi Lin, great question. Unfortunately I moved here as a PR so i don't have enough information at the moment but I can ask around and get back to you. Keep a check on my comments.
I'm pursuing LLB from India....I'm 23.and this is my last year of LLB.....so dear can you tell me that what would I should do after this .....Will NCA accept my request??? Please reply me dear.....
Hi Floricel, it depends on your assessment. If you complete the LLM and take all the required courses as part of your LLM, you won't need to take NCA exams. Hope this helps.
Hi rabeea .. i just want to know that am in 12 rn want to persue law cource in canada with scholarship so to grab scholarship how much marks will be needed for that in 12 ?
Thank you so much for this detailed video! Really appreciate your efforts. I am a licensed lawyer in India. My query is that while I understand the whole process, is it all worth in the current scenario? I mean, are there sufficient jobs for lawyers in ON or it may land me in a limbo? This whole process shall require a lot of effort but it's doable, provided I know that there are chances of getting a job. Also, what is the probability of getting a job from / post the Ryerson's LPP? Thank you in advance!
Really informative video... I have LLB degree from Government College University in Punjab Pakistan... I am practicing law since 2012... Before going for NCA assessment, I would like to know whether they will ask me to take NCA exam or is that more probability for me to take LLM from a Canadian Law School. Kindly, guide in this regard
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Everyone's assessment varies depending on different factors so I won't be able to give you a definite answer. However, from my experience, most law graduates who receive their law degree through in-person instruction in an Approved Law School are only asked to take NCA exams. Hope this helps!
I wanna study law in canada after 12th from india Can you please tell what pre-law courses we can do and is JD an undergraduate course and can we do it after like 12th or there are other courses? I really hope you could clarify the eligibilities and tests for the starting process for studying law
Dear Ms Rabeea I did LLB 3 years program from Pakistan and now I got Bar license in 2021. Can I apply for NcA and where will be NCA exams conducted in Pakistan or Canada?
At this time, NCA Exams can be taken online. However, please check the NCA website from time to time if there have been any changes: nca.legal/exams/information/
Hi - What type of job are you looking for? If you wish to work as a lawyer you will have to complete the NCA exams and then take the licensing exams. If you wish to work as a paralegal then you will have to apply to a college. I will make a video on this soon!
Mam my ultimate goal is to become a lawyer in Canada.But for the time being I want to come canada on student visa so any graduate course which will be help ful to my future .
Hi Rabeea, Really very informative and genuine video I found on you tube for scope of law in Canada. I have a question, I am doing B. A hon. in India can I pursue law in Canada after doing B. A . hon. and also the process.. Please let me know I shall be very thankful to you
Thanks! I am not sure what a B.A hons is. You need a qualifying law degree to apply for an NCA assessment. If B.A hons is not a law degree you can't apply.
Great video 😁 keep on going...i follow you 💪 well...i have one question. What do you mean how many exams i need to pass if i'm coming from civil law system? More that 8 or? Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for such kind words! The number of exams you need to take will depend on what type of law degree you have. So, If you are from a country with a legal tradition other than common law (e.g. civil law, religious law, etc.), you must obtain common law training or education. In this case, you are likely to get an assessment with 8 or more courses. Lastly, your assessment will vary depending on your background so I won't be able to give you a definite answer. I hope this is helpful and Goodluck if you plan to become a lawyer in Canada!
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit thank you so much for answer. I would like to tell you that i'm master of law (5 years at university of law in Croatia-Europe). So...its necessary to obtain common law training or education? I mean, i cant pass nca exams without that training/education? Thank you so much for answer 😄😄😄
Heyy thank you for such a informative video. Im planning to study law in Canada. I have completed my 12th. Can i go for law course in canada? I want to become a intellectual property lawyer.

And how many years will it take for me to pursue diploma 3 years or 5 years? Is diploma is valuable in Canada? Please tell me.
Hello, Hope you are doing well. Thanks for making such informational videos on youtube. They are really useful. Actually, i have been successfully enrolled at York university for the course of Canadian common law. Since , you have gone through the NCA procedure.So, i require a little guidance from you. I know you might be very busy with daily livelihood but it would be great help if you could clear some of my doubts, which are whether we can give BAR exam without getting PR? Another one is, as i will get one year work permit. So if i get my articleship after 2-3 months then what option would i have to extend my visa or i have to apply for PR immediately after my course. And if you can guide me whether its good option to pursue from York univ.? Thank you Vasu khera

Hi mam I just passed my 12 grade nd I want to pursue law as my career from career so firstly I'm.planning to do paralegal diploma from Canada .is it a good step?
Hi Rabeea...tnk u so much for this video. It really what i exactly need. I need some more suggestion from u. I already got LL.B & LL.M. in my country & very soon i also become a lawyer, since i already attending bar enrolment exam. If i go to canada for studying any diploma course or legal assistant, law clark or paralegal course & then apply for NCA exam, can i do it & attend in exam?? Or they send me to complete LL.M. again?? & what about of scholarship for LL.M. course??
Hello! It depends on your NCA Assessment. They might ask you to take NCA Exams or complete courses in-class at a Canadian law school which is the LL.M. Please watch this for more clarification: th-cam.com/video/5YbfDw8-Rdk/w-d-xo.html
I’m studying undergraduate law LL.B in uk and I want to practice in Canada. So does the Uk law degree gets any special facilities? (Because I’ve heard by studying Uk law I can practice in 180 countries , Is that a fake news ? ) 2. Will I be able /eligible to do my LL.M in Canada without doing NACA because of my LL.B in the UK? 3. If I can’t practice in 180 countries then I’m thinking it’s useless to study the uk law because my target was to settle in Canada/USA. Please answer my two questions and comment on my 3rd point
1) I am licensed to practice in Ontario and I don't have enough knowledge about UK's licensing process to comment on this. 2) Yes you take the LLM without writing the NCA exams. The NCA exams are a step to get licensed in Canada. You don't have to take the NCA exams if you don't want to practice. Lastly, please note you can't practice law in Canada unless you are licensed by the law society. Having a law degree or the LLM is not sufficient to practice law. There are other requirements that you need to fulfill.

I have a few questions please, so when you’re assigned these courses by NAC and you go to law school to take them, do you apply for a jd or the llm or is the llm taking a longer period of time due to the fact that you are expected to take the courses given by nac (this part is just really confusing) cause I do not know if I’m applying for the JD or the LLM) please reply thank you so much
You are applying for an LL.M designed for internationally trained lawyers.
Hi Rabeea! You summarised a lot of things through this video...however I wanted to ask if you are a fresh graduate from law school do you need bar council certificate for applying for NCA assessment...will that matter in terms of number of subjects that will be assigned
It is not necessary to have a Bar license to apply for an NCA assessment. You only need a qualifying law degree.
The bar license might affect the assigned number of subjects but this really is a case by case determination.
I don't have pre-law education. So is that a problem ? And also is there any alternative for IELTS ? Is there any foundation course i could take instead giving the language test ?
Hi ,your video was quite helpful. I am in Nigeria, can I apply for the NCA assessment and write the exams in Nigeria? Or must I be in Canada to write the exams?Thanks
As of now, you can write exams online. Please be sure to check out NCA's website for updates: nca.legal/
Thnx for such a wonderful video
Please answer my few questions-
Q1 after qualifying the NCA should one enroll in paralegal course till he hasn't appear for bar exams.
Q.2 As an international lawyer as per you do enough opportunities exist for working in good law firms in canada
Hi! Thank you for reaching out.
I am not sure why you would need to enroll in a paralegal course. The NCA exams are for individuals who want to become lawyers and not paralegals.
For your second question, I will have to make a video because I have a lot to say about that :)
I hope this is helpful!
Rabeea Khalid - Law Study Kit I think a lot of people would love that video, No one has ever talked about that and I know very much people that would like to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
Is there like micro loans for us to take in order for us to be able to pay for school???
You can! I am not too familiar with loan options but I have heard that there are options available.
Are there any waiver of courses for people who did Bar Professional Training Course from England?
There could be. The NCA assesses your entire legal training/education. I recommend sending them an email.
Hi I want to start study from now itself where I can buy books pl help me
You can buy NCA books from: emond.ca/
Hi . Thanks a lot for this video . Its really helpful . I had a doubt . I completed my LLM from UK. Is there any concession because of it during the NCA assessment ?
Hi Huda - Yes the NCA will take into account all your degrees as well as your work experience.
For lpp we get student work visa, so do we have to pay GIC for that? After lpp, if we take admission into any other course , will they ask me to pay GIC again? So any gic u paid for lpp or any other course?
I have done LLB from punjab university Chandigarh India. And LLM from university of Kent Canterbury England. I want to upgrade studies in canada as i live here now. How many exams do i have to take? Please enlighten me
Unfortunately, I can't tell you how many exams you will have to take. Everyone's case is different and there are many different factors that the NCA considers. You should apply for an assessment in order to find this out.
Hello! This video was really helpful. I have completed my LLB from India. As per my NCA assessment report, they have asked me to complete law or JD from Canadian law school. They have not considered my law degree since the name of my college as appearing on the Bar Council of India list is not updated till the year of my graduation. When I asked NCA if I can complete LLM in Canadian law then will I meet the NCA requirements, they said that they will not issue a Certificate of Qualification on the basis of LLM. I am not sure what I should do next. Can you please guide on this?
From my understanding you should contact the NCA and tell them exactly what you have written here. They should be able to guide you regarding the next steps. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any such case so I won't be able to give you an answer.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKitOkay. Thanks a lot!
Hey Unnati! I'm from India as well.
which university did you pursue law from?
Hi ma'am
After LLM-CL , student may have one year working permit ,the process of licencing take 2to3 years. How can a student get more than 1 year to complete the total process plz ma'am clear this thing . I am totally confuse .
Thank you .
For taking the NCA exams do I need to move into Canada first or I have to write it from my home country?
Students shift to these countries in search of better life and to start a new life.
Hi any chance could you recommend few diploma level courses for a law graduate from india? I am having hard time finding a course in Canada ,apart from paralegal diploma what other options are there for me? Would appreciate your help. Thanks 👍
Hi Karan, Unfortunately I don't have much idea about diploma level courses. I can look into it as many of my subscribers have been asking me this question. I'll share a video soon!
Vasu , i want to know if my points are 458 ,before entering in Austrailia,and if i get a work student visa for the purpose of getting in enroll in canadian bar,would that work permitt add points in my PR profile?
I am a PhD student from Cameroon. I have no experience in legal practice I am interested in becoming a lawyer in Canada please how can I proceed?
Hi Rabeea. I am a law student in Tunisia. I'm planning to enroll in a LLM in canada next year. Will I still have to go through the NCA certificate? Thank you
I want to study law in canada. So can you tell me about the tution fees and budget for canada.
And suggest me a good law University
Hi - The tuition fee for an LLM in Toronto ranges from $35,000 to $56,000 (some schools charge additional fees on top of tuition). Please take a look at this for additional costs: nca.legal/costs-and-timelines/. I am in Toronto so I can only speak for Universities here. You can either look at Osgoode Hall Law School or University of Toronto if you wish to fulfill your NCA requirements at a Canadian Law School.
Do we need to do Articling first then Bar exam or vice versa ?? Pls clear
Hi. This is Prem from india. I am a law student and I would like to know the 8 NCA papers which I have to write for assessment. Is it same for everyone or it changes according to individual. Thanks in advance.
This is so informative. I hope you could share your employment opportunities available to you after you passed the exams.
Hi I just want to know is it necessary to get working experience in law to apply nca Coz I am having LLB degree but am not a lawyer in my country, am doing my law college exams nowadays
Hey! Just found this video and i'm so glad that I did. I have a small query. I was a fresh grad law grad from India and am already in Canada on a work permit. I hadn't taken the Bar before I moved out here. Would I still be eligible to submit an application to NCA and get accredited for my law degree?
Yes you can!
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit thank you for your response! Really appreciate it
Maam how about those newly graduate LLB from university with no experience yet? Is he or she may allowed for nca assessment?then go to bar exam
Thank you for the great information. I wish you a good luck , i live in Egypt after sending my papers to the NCA should i take the exams on campus of Canada ? Should it be like a student visa ? What about the IELTS score and LSAT score ? And is there a certain GPA needed ? Thanks
Hello Mahmoud, I am Egyptian to and i want to practice law in Canada, i want you to help with know what procedures did you take.
Hi. Thanks for the video. May i know how many years will the LLM take? Thank you.
The LL.M is usually one year!
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit OMG thank you for replying. I really appreciate it. ❤
Within how many days the hardcopies of transcripts shall be sent after making online application ?
There is no deadline. You can send them as soon as possible. After the NCA receives the documents they take about six to eight weeks to process your application and email you your assessment.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit Thanks
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit do i need to submit certified copies or notarized documents along with transcripts ? What happens if i only submit transcripts ?
Thx for the support
One question I really want to ask
How difficult are the bar exams
The bar exams are quite hard. I will make a video on this topic soon.
Can you please tell me that.. We can give NCA exams in india only? And after that we need to give bar exam in so after that we need to come to canada.. there is no need to study in canada a course like llm?
Just pass Nca and then bar exams for getting registered..?
Hi - Your NCA assessment will tell you if you need to take the LLM or you can take NCA courses on your own in India. Once you have fulfilled the NCA requirements you have to fulfill the experiential training component requirement and also take the lawyer licensing exams (Bar exams). Please read this if you'd like a bit more detail on this: www.mcss.gov.on.ca/documents/en/immigration/oi_en_law_cm.pdf
Thanks for answering..
If i am going on a student visa to do my masters do i need to enroll in NCA first or i can do it later after completion of my llm?
What is the time period that will take to nca qualify and get the liscence
The entire process from writing NCAs and then getting licensed can take anywhere between 3-4years.
Mam agar hum Canada k lie apni law degree ki WES se assessment krwa lete h to vo NCA exam k lie relevant hoggi ya NCA k lie alag se krwani padegi
You will need to apply for an NCA assessment regardless :)
You explain a lot thank you for this clearance...! I have a doubt that i have a different countrie law degree and i have to practice as a lawyer in a Canada...! How do i do this...?
Hmm. This is exactly what I explained in the video. You need to go through this entire process and get licensed in a province in Canada.
Does LLM still work? I have heard they took LLM off the table?
hii..i completed my llb degree in india ...and now how can i apply for canada ...or which course should i take in canada ...plz tell me the whole process
Is it really hard to get an admission into LLM for a person who has an LLB from Pakistan?
Can you say which is best for LLM, after we completed v will get job there .please reply.
awesome video! how long would this entire process take approximately?
Good question! It varies from person to person. Roughly I would say it can take 3-4 years.
maam , if we want to settle and work abroad does our college from which we did our undergraduation in law matters ?
How long does it takes? To practice law as a foreign lawyer?
It depends on everyone's circumstances. I can't give you an exact number. Approximately, It can take 2 or more years.
Hii, could you please let me know about what kind of visa is required. If I'm studying llm in Canada and then I want to apply for NCA what visa would I be requiring throughout?
Hi Lin, great question. Unfortunately I moved here as a PR so i don't have enough information at the moment but I can ask around and get back to you. Keep a check on my comments.
Hii, thanks alot. It would be great help if you could let me know.
I will keep checking the comments.
Keep up the great work❤
I'm pursuing LLB from India....I'm 23.and this is my last year of LLB.....so dear can you tell me that what would I should do after this .....Will NCA accept my request??? Please reply me dear.....
Hi Rabeea, if we take the LLM course do we still need to take the NCA exams? Very helpful video. Thanks!
Hi Floricel, it depends on your assessment. If you complete the LLM and take all the required courses as part of your LLM, you won't need to take NCA exams. Hope this helps.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit Hi, which LLM programs do you recommend that will cover all the required courses?
Please guide if a foreign qualified lawyer and llm qualified what is the process of bar exemption
There is no option to get a bar exemption. Everyone must write licensing exams.
Hi rabeea .. i just want to know that am in 12 rn want to persue law cource in canada with scholarship so to grab scholarship how much marks will be needed for that in 12 ?
You will have to check scholarship requirements for each university. There is no set standard I believe.
Is it important to have an experience to apply for LLM from India ?
Thank you so much for this detailed video! Really appreciate your efforts. I am a licensed lawyer in India. My query is that while I understand the whole process, is it all worth in the current scenario? I mean, are there sufficient jobs for lawyers in ON or it may land me in a limbo? This whole process shall require a lot of effort but it's doable, provided I know that there are chances of getting a job. Also, what is the probability of getting a job from / post the Ryerson's LPP? Thank you in advance!
Great question! I am going to share a video regarding this as I have a lot to say about this topic.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit Thanks for reverting back. Eagerly waiting for the video.
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit hi have you released this video? can you share the link please.
@@thuddu Still working on it!
hey rabeea, ur video is really helpful. actually I'm master's in law from India. how many NCA courses I have to take.
So helpful, thanks for making this video!
My pleasure!
Really informative video... I have LLB degree from Government College University in Punjab Pakistan... I am practicing law since 2012... Before going for NCA assessment, I would like to know whether they will ask me to take NCA exam or is that more probability for me to take LLM from a Canadian Law School. Kindly, guide in this regard
Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Everyone's assessment varies depending on different factors so I won't be able to give you a definite answer. However, from my experience, most law graduates who receive their law degree through in-person instruction in an Approved Law School are only asked to take NCA exams. Hope this helps!
Thanks alot... It is a real help
I wanna study law in canada after 12th from india Can you please tell what pre-law courses we can do and is JD an undergraduate course and can we do it after like 12th or there are other courses? I really hope you could clarify the eligibilities and tests for the starting process for studying law
Dear Ms Rabeea I did LLB 3 years program from Pakistan and now I got Bar license in 2021. Can I apply for NcA and where will be NCA exams conducted in Pakistan or Canada?
At this time, NCA Exams can be taken online. However, please check the NCA website from time to time if there have been any changes: nca.legal/exams/information/
I'm a freshly passed student of llab from india....can you guide me which course I most choose for LLM?
Mam any course you can advice me.. I have done my llb from india.. I am looking for a program which will help me to get a a job in law firm. Please
Hi - What type of job are you looking for? If you wish to work as a lawyer you will have to complete the NCA exams and then take the licensing exams. If you wish to work as a paralegal then you will have to apply to a college. I will make a video on this soon!
Mam my ultimate goal is to become a lawyer in Canada.But for the time being I want to come canada on student visa so any graduate course which will be help ful to my future .
Hi Rabeea,
Really very informative and genuine video I found on you tube for scope of law in Canada. I have a question, I am doing B. A hon. in India can I pursue law in Canada after doing
B. A . hon. and also the process.. Please let me know I shall be very thankful to you
Thanks! I am not sure what a B.A hons is. You need a qualifying law degree to apply for an NCA assessment. If B.A hons is not a law degree you can't apply.
Hi, From where can we get the material for NCA Exam?
What is the duration for an LLM degree in Canada?
Mostly one year.
Great video 😁 keep on going...i follow you 💪 well...i have one question. What do you mean how many exams i need to pass if i'm coming from civil law system? More that 8 or? Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for such kind words! The number of exams you need to take will depend on what type of law degree you have. So, If you are from a country with a legal tradition other than common law (e.g. civil law, religious law, etc.), you must obtain common law training or education. In this case, you are likely to get an assessment with 8 or more courses. Lastly, your assessment will vary depending on your background so I won't be able to give you a definite answer. I hope this is helpful and Goodluck if you plan to become a lawyer in Canada!
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit thank you so much for answer. I would like to tell you that i'm master of law (5 years at university of law in Croatia-Europe). So...its necessary to obtain common law training or education? I mean, i cant pass nca exams without that training/education? Thank you so much for answer 😄😄😄

Hello,
Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for making such informational videos on youtube. They are really useful.
Actually, i have been successfully enrolled at York university for the course of Canadian common law. Since , you have gone through the NCA procedure.So, i require a little guidance from you.
I know you might be very busy with daily livelihood but it would be great help if you could clear some of my doubts, which are whether we can give BAR exam without getting PR?
Another one is, as i will get one year work permit. So if i get my articleship after 2-3 months then what option would i have to extend my visa or i have to apply for PR immediately after my course. And if you can guide me whether its good option to pursue from York univ.?
Thank you
Vasu khera
Dear vasu,
Same are my questions of concern ....if u got any info on this regard please share your knowledge.....
Ur greatness!
Vasu , i want to know if my points are 458 ,before entering in Austrailia,and if i get a work student visa for the purpose of getting in enroll in canadian bar,would that work permitt add points in my PR profile?
Hlo rabeea m from India can you please tell that LLB is better option for medical student in Canada .how much cost of this course?
Now m in 12th class please give full information please like a big sister 😊😊
I don't quite understand your question. Are you looking to become a lawyer after med school?
@@RabeeaKhalidLawStudyKit yes after medical school .
Licensed lawyer you mean like a solicitor?
Hi mam I just passed my 12 grade nd I want to pursue law as my career from career so firstly I'm.planning to do paralegal diploma from Canada .is it a good step?
How much expenses and how a barrister can earn monthly normal in canada
Hi Rabeea...tnk u so much for this video. It really what i exactly need. I need some more suggestion from u. I already got LL.B & LL.M. in my country & very soon i also become a lawyer, since i already attending bar enrolment exam. If i go to canada for studying any diploma course or legal assistant, law clark or paralegal course & then apply for NCA exam, can i do it & attend in exam?? Or they send me to complete LL.M. again?? & what about of scholarship for LL.M. course??
Hello! It depends on your NCA Assessment. They might ask you to take NCA Exams or complete courses in-class at a Canadian law school which is the LL.M. Please watch this for more clarification: th-cam.com/video/5YbfDw8-Rdk/w-d-xo.html
I’m studying undergraduate law LL.B in uk and I want to practice in Canada. So does the Uk law degree gets any special facilities? (Because I’ve heard by studying Uk law I can practice in 180 countries , Is that a fake news ? )
2. Will I be able /eligible to do my LL.M in Canada without doing NACA because of my LL.B in the UK?
3. If I can’t practice in 180 countries then I’m thinking it’s useless to study the uk law because my target was to settle in Canada/USA.
Please answer my two questions and comment on my 3rd point
1) I am licensed to practice in Ontario and I don't have enough knowledge about UK's licensing process to comment on this.
2) Yes you take the LLM without writing the NCA exams. The NCA exams are a step to get licensed in Canada. You don't have to take the NCA exams if you don't want to practice.
Lastly, please note you can't practice law in Canada unless you are licensed by the law society. Having a law degree or the LLM is not sufficient to practice law. There are other requirements that you need to fulfill.
Rabeea Khalid - Law Study Kit ok thank you .. now it’s clear .
