last question please, is a Nigerian Law School degree ranked in the CRS system as a "Professional Degree" or a Bachelor's Degree ?

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I stumbled on this forum/thread and I am quite delighted about the information I have been able to gather. I am a Lawyer with 5 years experience at a commercial practice in Lagos and I am interested in relocating to Canada via the Express Entry route to further my education and to also gain world-class experience. I have perused the CIC website and I have a few questions which I hope experienced members of the house can elucidate upon;

1. Is my Nigerian Law School qualification considered a professional qualification in order to earn points in the level of education section?;
2. If question 1 above is in the affirmative, do I have to submit my Nigerian Law School certificate for a Educational Credential Assessment?;
3. Which assessment provider is more efficient for law degrees, IQAS or WES?;
4. What is the success rate for Lawyers migrating?; and lastly
5, What opportunities are available for lawyers migrating?

Thank you very much for the anticipated responses and I look forward to engaging and learning from members of the house during this journey. Cheers!
