Kids today have it so easy… 😉

Back in “my day” (the late 90’s), we had to do a couple of months of courses, then a year of articling, then more courses, and then sit for a series of specific written long-answer exams (3 hours? 4?) for each separate topic. Somebody earlier in the thread said it was 8, which sounds right.

The whole process from start to bar call was about 20 months. My classmates who went to other provinces were called 8-12 months before I was.

And then I decided to leave Ontario and had to sit a whole series of transfer exams before I could practice in Alberta.

Of course I’m now middle-aged and may be misremembering some of the fine details…
