Does Canadian accreditation committee recognize Indian law degrees?
Canada's National Committee on Accreditation (NCA), evaluates internationally-obtained credentials of lawyers who wish to practice in Canada. NCA considers law degrees of legal professionals from India equivalent to those from the United Kingdom and Australia. This substantially reduces barriers to entry into the legal profession in Canada. In addition to law degrees from India, Australia, and England, those from Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, the United States, Wales, and the West Indies are all being treated equivalently by the NCA.
All foreign-trained lawyers must pass qualifying exams in six subjects, as well as bar exams to be qualified to practice.
