This is one of the most frequently asked questions by students planning on studying law in the UK. A Qualifying law degree from an accredited university in the UK would allow you to practice law in Canada. The process is simple. Upon returning to Canada, you must submit your law degree from the UK to the NCA (National Committee on Accreditation) who will then assess your credentials. 

After assessing your credentials, the NCA will assign a number of exams to help you convert your UK degree into a Canadian Law Degree. Once you complete these exams, you will be issued a certificate of qualification which will confirm that your credentials are equal to that of a Canadian law degree. You will then be able to apply for the bar admissions and articling positions just as a Canadian law graduate would.
