Entry into the legal profession is regulated by the rules and regulations of the law society — and by the laws — in each province and territory of Canada . In Quebec , there are two law societies:
the Chambre des notaires du Québec, which governs the notarial profession,
and the Barreau du Québec, which governs lawyers according to the civil law tradition from France. |

Evaluation
Foreign lawyers who wish to become members of a Canadian Law Society must apply to the National Committee on Accreditation for an evaluation of their legal credentials and experience. The National Committee on Accreditation establishes certain educational and practicing criteria that must be met by the applicant to be qualified. It does not ensure the right to work in Canada , but will enable you to apply for membership to a provincial or territorial law society. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The funding of the committee comes from fees paid by the applicants for admission. The existence of this Committee avoids the need for each Law Society to establish its own committee to deal with such applicants |

New rules, procedures and examination table are now posted at the end of Section E (Course Requirements and Challenge Examinations).
Exam schedules are not posted on the website. Individual schedules are mailed to the applicants approximately one month prior to the start of the session
The NCA evaluates the legal training and professional experience of persons with foreign or non-common law legal credentials (including Québec) who wish to be admitted to a common law bar in Canada. Upon completion of its review, the NCA issues a recommendation describing the scope and extent of any further legal education that in its opinion the applicant needs to complete to equal the standard of those who have earned a Canadian LL.B. degree. Most law societies and law schools in Canada use the NCA's recommendations in setting their requirements for call to the bar.
