UK LLM in Canada?
Tue Jan 31, 2006 08:07 PM
IS a UK LLM recognised in Canada? What are the requirements to do the Bar in Canada? Will my UK LLB and LLM suffice?

Also, is the UK LLM recognised by employers in Canada (in law related and non-law related fields)?

Someone please help. I'm thinking about relocating to Canada in the future but am unsure if my degree will be valued as much as it is in the UK.

Does anyone know what are the requirements for getting a work permit for Canada?

Thanks!

A UK LL.M. is sure to be recognized and valued here in Canada as much as it is in the U.K.

Lawyers from outside Canada or lawyers who did not receive their training from an approved Canadian law school may apply to the National Committee on Accreditation to receive a certificate of qualification which will allow them to register for the Licensing Process.

Check out the following link for more information on admissions to the Ontario Bar:
