Has anyone out there attempted the Canadian committee of accreditation conversion exams? If so were they difficult?

Thanks

I think this is a pretty fair assessment.
The real drawback to getting an LL.M. in Canada (if you are Canadian) is the bias in academia in favour of big American and European universities. Some think this may be changing, but academic snobbery is deeply rooted. If you want to be a professor in Canada, go elsewhere.

Best international rep = McGill

Best bang for your buck = McGill, UNB

Worst bang for your buck = Dal

Best for job opportunities in Canada = Toronto

Best faculty = Ottawa

Best course offerings = Osgoode

Best MBA/LLB combo = Osgoode

Best internships/extracurricular involvement = Ottawa

Most overrated = Toronto

Most accomplished students = Toronto

Best overall experience = UNB, Dal, UVic

Best international exchanges = Ottawa

Coolest city = McGill, UBC

Best for CLE/LLM = Osgoode

Best for Health = Alberta

Best for Corporate = Toronto

Best for Crim = Queen's

Best for Tech = Ottawa

Best for Marine = Dal

Best for Oil = Calgary

Best for IP = Ottawa

Best for Human Rights = Ottawa

Most mediocre school = Moncton

I am very interested in getting to Law School in Canada. I come from a sub-saharan african country called Cameroon with a billingual culture of French and English like Canada. I hold a law degree(LLB) from the state university of Yaounde,Soa and dying to continue. I am from the English speaking part of my country so my degree was
on English Private Law.
Canada is the place where i would like to continue
my studies or even get into a program worth the while
and competitive. Osgoode and Ottawa seem to have interesting LLM ptograms. Another one is McGill
Law School which seems billingual in character. I have
a perfect mastery of the French language so it can only
do good to me.I need to know admission requirements of all sorts including tuition and scholarships. Methods of
financing my sutdies and work too are very important
to me. I am open for everything Law you could find for
me in CANADA.

Didn't you find this on the university websites? Most unis do have all necessary information on their website. Sometimes you need to look around a bit, though.

The uOttawa is centered on the bilingualism. I am definitely enjoying my experience, here. If you have interest for law & technology, then, it is the place to be in Canada.

See my other post in: www.llm-guide.com/board/7040

Hello moon river. Try www.law.utoronto.ca. I did the LLM there 05-06 and it was great. There were about 50% canadians and the other half were international students from all over the world. It is one of the best in Canada, together with McGill. Cheers!

Eurobest-

"but at they same time they realize they would be nothing without the US. Canada depends on the US economically, militarily, culturally...you name it:)

The reasons Canada is beholden to the USA economically are because we have the laziest elites in the world who prefer to sell our natural resources wholesale rather than get any value-added to our economy. They also cant be bother developing other markets and entered into the corporatist sell out agreement of NAFTA.

Culturally, this is obviously nonsense. Canada has a distinctive core culture, although many countries are recipients of American pop culture, France, UK, Germany, Australia, Japan, etc and Canada. We are not "dependent" on the USA for culture. We are the only nation in which,albeit strained at times, the two major European cultures have lived together in the same nation for over a century.

If we had leaders worth their weight in salt we could fix our economic problems and build our own military. Although, Canada is not a militaristic war-mongering nation.
