donski (1 posts) 14-Sep-00, 02:43 PM (GMT) "Career in Law" Dear Harry, I am now in the process of applying for a permanent resident visa as a professional/skilled worker. I am a lawyer in the Philippines for the past three years, specializing in corporate law. Assuming I am successful in my application, what do you think are my prospects in pursuing my chosen career? Can I practice law in Canada or in any one of its provinces considering that I am not a Canadian citizen and that I did not obtain my law degree from a Canadian law school? If your answer to my last question is in the negative, what requirements should I meet to enable practice law. Last, is there a demand for foreign lawyers in Canada? Please advise. Regards, donski   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Harry (133 posts) 18-Sep-00, 00:23 AM (GMT) 1. "RE: Career in Law" Donski, Practicing law in Canada is a complex thing because you are not just dealing with Canadian law but the laws also vary from province to province within Canada. I suugest that you take a look in the Canadian Bar Association Website and do some research on the type of background you need and the steps to follow in order to be a member of the Canadian bar: www.cba.org. There is a link that allows you to contact the bar association directly for any inquiries. Harry   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
