That could be horribly expensive! If your law degree is British, Australian (or anything else other than Canadian) then I know Ontario's Law Society (LSUC) will make you take half a dozen VERY expensive courses before you can practice here. I think you'd be looking at a year and a half of full-time school and maybe $15,000 or up. Other provincial Law Societies have their own rules. Good luck!

Maybe that's changed. Better? Worse? I don't know. New rules as of 2015. Looks very difficult. Here they are: http://docs.flsc.ca/NCAPoliciesREVJan2015.pdf
Interesting note - they say quite a few American lawyers have expressed interest in qualifying to work in Canada, since the U.S. Election in 2016.

I kind of wondered about that myself. Why would you get your law degree in another country, rather than the one you want to practice in? Seems like it would just be a lot of extra work to do.
