Blessing you’re AMAAAAZING! Some of my questions were very random but you still took time out to provide answers.

@Dulles25 I really appreciate your explanation on Articling.

I’ll explore all links shared ASAP.

I'm a foreign trained lawyer in Canada currently challenging the NCA exams (landed Canada through the Express Entry program).

What do you need to know about the NCA ?

Hi Blessing.

Oh I’ve got a lot to ask! I sent a pm request earlier.

I’ll like to know more about the following —
i. The accompanying documents for an NCA application
ii. The complexity of the exam, study materials and the recommended number of courses to take in a sitting for a full time worker
iii. If a student visa will be required to write the NCA exams in Canada
iv. The meaning of the phrase “articulating” (or something like that) after obtaining a qualifying certificate
v. The implication of having a qualifying certificate without being a member of the equivalent of an NBA branch
vi. The probability of a qualifying certificate boosting an express entry application
vii. The best way for a legal practitioner with less than 5 years practice experience to emigrate
viii. The approval chances of an in-house counsel planning to emigrate when compared with a lawyer working with a law firm
ix. Which threads are dedicated to foreign trained lawyers in Canada etc

It is definitely a lot of information to ask. But hopefully answers to these questions will also help other people in the legal field hoping to emigrate.

Looking forward to receiving a feedback from you or anyone with answers to these questions.

You're welcome.

And oh, I took the shot with my chest.
Anyway, Sundays are for faffing around but I hope you find some good help.

Thank you BlackGold.

If half of the people on this forum are as good natured as you, I’m very sure I will.

Search for @Cocolav. If she's got some free time, I bet she'd be happy to guide you.

On a lighter note, my guy here, @Guitarlife and I are searching for a wife: just in case you ever consider exploring other options

Thank you BlakGold. I’ll message her shortly.

Let’s pretend there was no second paragraph. Lol.

This is a really insightful thread. It’s also commendable to see Nigerians looking out for each other.

I’m a law graduate who is exploring relocating to Canada through the acquisition of academic degrees (LL.M and NCA). Although I have read up the process, I am still quite confused on some issues and feel someone with experience would properly guide me. I am going to be mostly self sponsored (daddy and mummy have really tried so far) so I want to ensure I don’t waste a kobo due to avoidable mistakes in my application.

Are there immigrant Canadian legal practitioners in the house? Does anyone know an immigrant Canadian legal practitioner? It would be highly appreciated if I can have a detailed discussion with such a person.

Many thanks.
