wemmyklein: I completely disagree with you on all the points outlined in your post. There are high profile people with accent in the American society. Arnold Schwarzenegger has a accent and was the governor of California. I know of a mayor who had immigrated to the US from Haiti as an adult and has a French accent. There are countless of university professors, teachers, police officers with foreign accent. Why would a lawyer with a accent be treated differently ? In 2003, Jean Chrétien was the prime minister of Canada. He spoke English with a very thick French accent and Canada is mostly English. No judge will make a ruling on the basis of someone's accent. In the case of your traffic ticket, You just didn't have strong arguments to convince the judge that the cop was wrong. In the case where it is your words against the cop's words, the cop will always prevail. You further indicate that your friend lost his case in court because he hired a Nigerian lawyer with an accent. I guess you don't even have the transcript of yor friend's hearing, you don't have all the facts of your friend's case, but you come on Nairaland to tell the world that your friend lost because of the accent of his lawyer... this conclusion is based on hearsay, based on your friend's opinion and we have no facts. I am sensing a self-esteem issue in your post 7 Likes 1 Share |

Betterchoice: Canada is great for lawyers, but you need to get licensed to practice and explore the vast opportunities. The process of licensing takes some time, as you need to get your legal education from Nigeria assessed to enable them determine the number of exams you need to write. Then, there is the Bar exams and other processes including articling. It takes time, resources, study and all. It is doable as I and some others are currently in the process. Of course, we are Permanent Residents. Canadian universities offer LLM programs tailored to meet the requirements for getting licensed. Getting into any of those will help make the process easy. I studied in the UK, but going through the processes like my friends from Nigeria and common law jurisdictions around the world. Canada is a great place, I feel so at home than I ever did studying law in the U.K. to PhD level. I know and see many people who came from Naija a year or two ago doing so well. The government invests in many schemes to make settling down here quite easy. Mentoring schemes, settler programmes and agencies, agencies that recruit for jobs, teach skills that help get into work fast and all. Yet, be realistic in your plans as it takes 1-3 years to settle fully into any of these Western countries and better explore opportunities for better life. But there are many survival opportunities for the earlier days. Let me know if you have any further questions. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
