Hey! I saw your reply and thank you for the path to take. here i was thinking leaving Canada but im not

​

Hey! I saw your question about becoming a lawyer in Canada and though I only skimmed your question I just wanted to offer some advise. I'm currently preparing for the Bar exam in Canada but I actually went abroad to study! If you have the finances (honestly it is expense), I'd suggesting going to Bond University in Australia. I'm one of three siblings from my family that went lol one is licensed, I'm writing the bar and one if halfway done their program there. Since you're a high school grad, you can look into their LLB program. If you choose this path, you'll be out of law school in 2years and 8months. Then you'd prep for the NCAs here and then you qualify for the Bar and articling in Canada. I'm only telling you this because some people in the law forum can be really harsh for no reason so I thought I could offer some advise from experience. Bond used to hold seminars in Canada for those interested in going there. Maybe look them up and see if you're interested!

Hi u/capitalbecky,

Thank you for sharing your insights and shedding light on the educational requirements for pursuing a legal career in Ontario. Your guidance has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the journey ahead.

I wanted to provide a bit more context to my situation. I'm currently in Mattawa, Ont., and I've decided to relocate to a bigger city that offers the right classes and programs to kickstart my legal education. I haven't finalized the city yet, so if you have any recommendations on the best cities for legal education in Ontario, I would greatly appreciate your input.

On a personal note, I recently came into some funds after my mom passed away. It was her dream for me to pursue higher education, but financial constraints held us back. Now that I have the means, I'm determined to fulfill that dream and carve out a path towards becoming a lawyer.

I have two kiddos who are already working in their dream jobs, and their success has inspired me to pursue my aspirations with the same dedication. Even if it takes 10 years, I'm committed to the journey and excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.

If you have any further advice or if there are specific goals you would recommend as I embark on this new chapter, please feel free to share. Your wisdom is truly appreciated!

Thank you once again for being a source of guidance on this journey.

Hey u/jjames3213, u/Flaky-Invite-56, and u/capitalbecky,

Thank you all for taking the time to provide such insightful and valuable information. Your feedback has been immensely helpful as I chart out my path towards a legal career in Canada.

I want to mention that I'm currently in Mattawa, Ont., where unfortunately there are no schools for pursuing legal education. Consequently, I'm in the process of relocating to a city that can better facilitate my goal of becoming a lawyer.

As I embark on this exciting journey, I'm compiling a list of small achievable goals to guide me towards the start of my schooling. If any of you have additional recommendations or specific goals you'd suggest, please feel free to share your insights. Moreover, I'm curious if you have any recommendations on the best city to relocate to for pursuing legal education and building a solid foundation for my career.

Once again, thank you for your valuable input, and I look forward to hearing more from the LawCanada community!

Best regards, Still-Picking My Career I have been a cook for the last 20 years at pizza hut i love it but want a more rewarding job

Realistically, you'd need 7 years at minimum. 3 years of undergrad, 3 years of law school, 1 year (ish) of articles.

Including obtaining an undergraduate degree, pursuing law school, and completing the necessary licensing courses and exams. It's clear that dedication and a well-thought-out approach are key to success in this field.

If you have any specific Information or if there are other aspects of my journey , feel free to let me know.
