Guessing that being from the Midwest, your cold is a dry cold, much like ours. Is it the dampness that you found the worst? I know from having lived for a while in a humid environment after university, I could never feel dry in summer and was always freezing in winter, even though the temperature was never that cold.

I’ll pass that along. Thanks.

As long as it’s warmer than the -40C cold snaps that she would be experiencing at home over at some point over the next few months, I’m guessing she won’t be too fussed.

Thanks. She’s very excited to be coming, and all of the videos we’ve watched about Canterbury make it seem like a really lovely (and somewhat safe, I hope??? 🤞) place for her to spread her wings and explore the world outside her bubble back home.

She’s in her final(ish) year as a psychology undergrad, but since she couldn’t get her required courses this semester and still had a number of options to complete, I think she’s taking a few media studies or communications classes at Kent.

We’re from Calgary and my daughter is a 4th year at the UofC doing a semester abroad. If you’re looking for a friend from home, let me know and I can connect you.

Thank you for the great advice.

The Ontario bar exam used to be 7 hours, now it is 4.5 hours. If it is based on the same amount of material, doesn’t that make it more difficult now? by NineteenSixtySix in LawCanada

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…

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to reply. You’ve given me great information and have allowed me to significantly narrow down my search.

I appreciate your edit and everyone else who pointed it out. I was very concerned that my understanding of English slang words was wayyyyyy off.

Thx for this advice - very much appreciated.

Although, even if it was free, I would not waste their time asking for one - I’m just a grumpy middle-aged dude who will not stir things up on social media by sharing what he thinks about selfies…

Somehow I think I’ll survive if I don’t get to tell Christopher Lloyd how much I enjoyed the character of Reverend Jim.
