[@mshappyfeet7168]

Please check out my response to a pinned comment by Nikhil on part 1 of this video, I hope that will answer your question too! Thanks :)

[@snehasharma2186]

Hey Surabhi, you are doing a great job providing all this information here. I know around a year or two back we could never find such information easily in a systematic form. Really really appreciate your effort and willingness to help people like me.

[@ridhiigandhi4237]

Thank you very informative .great suggestions

[@mk1417]

Thanks for guiding too the points! Keep comming up with LLM and law practice related videos, thanks again

[@anonimo030398]

Hi, I like your videos so far, congratulations. Could you make a video about articling position, if it is difficult to find, if you found it, and more information that you consider important about articling position specifically in Vancouver, which is the city where you are. It would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!!

[@mshappyfeet7168]

anonimo030398 Thank you! The next video is about Articling only, I have been unwell so didn’t post anything for 2 weeks but this one will be there by Sunday!!

[@gauravpimpale5989]

Thank you so much mam. Your videos are really helpful. Please make a video on Paralegal courses in Cananda, Job profile, salary and scope of paralegelas.

[@siddharthbose137]

Mam pls make a video on choosing of course subjects for LLM specialization for an Indian student after BALLB in canada.

[@amandabraga5851]

Thank you for your videos, they were very helpful. If you could, may you please explain how important are the recommendation letters for the LLM CL on UBC?

[@mabhezyarehani5095]

Thank you so much for the video, it gives alot of key information. I am wondering if there are groups of internationally trained lawyers that are either doing their LLM or NCA process that one can join to get more insights and reading materials.

[@mshappyfeet7168]

There is 2-3 groups on Facebook, just look for NCA or National Committee on Accreditation!

[@mabhezyarehani5095]

🙏🙏

[@estherehighelua7775]

Could you please make a video solely on the llm w/I specialization? I think this might be the best approach but I just want to understand what would happen with nca courses, do I do them before I apply for the llm or must they be done together.. please reply thank you very much

[@chitramathur7641]

very informative

[@subhashtewari7892]

Very nice and full of information. Great. If a student choose part time LLM CL of two years duration from UBC, for how many years, one can get work permit. Is part time LLM CL from UBC also helpful for MCA? Thanks and Regards.

[@vishalverma2212]

Hello Surabhi, Hope you are doing well. Firstly thank you for putting up your experience and related process on KZbin. I am following you since last one year and all your videos are really helpful for me. After watching your videos, I decided to write the NCA exams and by the grace of God, this month I've cleared all my NCA exams. Now as my next step and as a foreign (Indian) lawyer I am planning to enroll myself for LPP program. But before proceeding further, I've certain queries and it will be really great if you kindly look into them. (a) Will getting the certification of qualification from NCA help me to get more points in Express Entry in Canada? (specifically under 7 CRS pointer) (b) Completing LPP from Ryerson college help me to get some extra points under 4b CRS pointer?

Yes, please text me on linkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/surabhi-pathak/ Thank you!

[@maeheck]

Also, I checked that University of Calgary has some LLM specialisations that cost as low as 15000 CAD. Is that a good/marketable option in your opinion? Of course assuming I finish the NCA requirements on the side.

[@SS-qx1un]

Is it course based and for 1 year?

If I do LLM from Canada still I have to appear nca exams tho I’ll have only 2 years visa

[@siddhivdesai]

I am lawyer here, I do not have any experience as I am fresher, I have my Certificate of Practice also in India.. if I want to do job as a lawyer in canada then what procedure I have to follow and what to study further there or NCA is also necessary if I want to do job in canada as a lawyer.?

[@meghna9922]

Did you take any loan? Did you get any scholarships? Did you get a PR 1st? Could you afford LLM without any of these ?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

I couldn’t find any scholarships for LLM common Law program, UBC did however, offered a bursary, it ranges from $3k to 6k but it doesn’t get deducted from your fee, first you need to pay the fee for each term and the they reimburse you some amount in the next term depending on the amount. I took a student loan which covered 80% of my program fee and 80% residence as far as I can remember.. my student loan was 17.35 lakh but the total cost was beyond 23-24 lakh which only covered university fee and residence, I worked part time to pay my own bills like food, cellphone, clothing etc. I came here on a study visa, but if you have enough points for PR I would highly recommend coming here with a PR, you can only work 20 hrs per week on study permit (in covid times when classes were online, the rules might have changed, please check the IRCC website to confirm).

After llm cl how long is the post study work permit

[@muhammadfahadkarim3865]

Hey hope you are doing good i follow all your videos on youtube . I need your advice regarding NCA. Ill really appreciate any help . I have done distance learning and NCA is most probably gonna assign me 2 year law school . I can not afford such expense as LLM CL or any LLM is very expensive in Canada . I have completed the University of London LLB . Im working in High Court of Pakistan as a licensed Lawyer . Any help if i can minimize or waive the 2 year in class requirement and write the exams on my own . Ill be looking forward to hear from you .

[@Explainerbyusama]

[@SS-qx1un]

Ma'am, Is Full time LLM in Intellectual property rights available in Canada? If yes, please suggest universities and scope of non-science background IP Lawyers. I saw a part time LLM in IP law at Osgoode, so is part time as good as full time (considering part time takes 24 months) for a foreign trained lawyer? I'm not very good academically. Is Common Law easy to study? Do students generally pass? I chose IP just because, I could study IP law while I'm in India since its mostly same around the world. Can I study Canadian Common Law while I'm in India? If I take NCA separately what subjects will I have to study during my LLM in common law? I would be grateful if you could even answer one of them. I'll be obliged! Please guide me ma'am

I am planning to take the NCA exam and i have completed my bachelors in law in may 2020 . I wanted to know is it necessary to have the bar license in order to apply for the NCA Exam and is there any effect on my NCA assessment if I don’t have the license? Please help me out regarding this issue.

[@yeshaparikh3857]

hey can you please tell me if LSAT is needed to get into ubc or at any law universities for pursuing LLM?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

No LSAT is only required for JD.

[@yeshaparikh3857]

Thankyou

[@maeheck]

Do you think a PG Diploma in Business Law or Criminal Law etc (i.e., a PG diploma in a legal niche) accompanied by fulfilment of the NCA requirements would be a good route to pursue a legal career in Ontario for an Indian trained lawyer freshly out of law school? What’s the marketability of such a qualification in your opinion?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

Well, usually a masters degree would hold more value than a diploma, but it is not a bad option at all. Though, I am assuming these diploma courses are either 1 year or less in duration, so again you will be eligible for a shorter work permit.

[@siriusblack367]

Do we need to register with the NCA prior to our LLM or is it not required? And are the NCA equal to LLM, like do you need to give your NCA exam after LLM- CL? It's a bit confusing for me.

[@mshappyfeet7168]

If you are applying for LLMCL it is recommended that you apply for your NCA assessment in advance, so that you know which courses you need to complete and opt for as part of your LLM! It is not mandatory to have the NCA assessment prior to starting LLMCL but you do not want to be in a situation where you are already half way through your LLMCL and you find out that you needed to complete more NCA courses that were offered in the previous term or that are clashing with the other courses you have already picked! To answer the 2nd part of your questions, if you complete all NCA exam individually, with NCA itself then you do not need to pursue LLMCL, similarly if you complete all NCA courses as part of your LLMCL then you don’t need to write the already completed NCA exams separately! For example, if NCA tells you that you need to complete 6 courses but you only complete 5 of them as part of your LLMCL, then you will have to take that 1 remaining exam with NCA but not the other 5 you have already completed during your LLMCL!

[@siriusblack367]

@@mshappyfeet7168 thank you so much! Just one another query, in case of LLM-CL, do we need to clear the bar exam of India for the license? Or can we apply for LLM without the test like directly after LLB?

Hello Ma'am, I am having a Masters in Criminology from an NLU in India. Will I allowed to pursue LLMCL in Canada? Or What are the benefits of doing a JD??

[@mshappyfeet7168]

As long as you have an LLB degree from a recognized law school, you should be eligible for LLMCL.

Hi I m from karnavati university ahmedabad, and i was trying crs and for that we have to check our degree in wes but in that list my university name is missing, so now what is the option?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

Divya Vyas Hey! I checked their website and they are suggesting to type your institution name manually, they are also saying they can only process your application if your university is recognized in India! So I guess if your university is UGC approved you should be fine! Still, I would suggest writing to them personally so that you have a reliable source of information. You can search “institution is not listed” in the help centre search box here - www.wes.org/ca/help/ I couldn’t find their email address anywhere, but since I am already here I can call them for you and hopefully get an email address for you, where you can send your questions. Hope this helps!

[@kartiksharma-ki5ob]

Mam if we do LLM in Canada, it is for 1 year and we get one year work permit in which we can do our articling. So how can we manage our visa and residency because after one year the work permit get ended? Please tell me mam if you know the answer to this problem. Thanks 🙂

[@mshappyfeet7168]

You will have to find a job that gets you another work permit or apply for your PR well in advance of the end of that one year.. this is a very common worry for students that is why you should apply for PR as soon as you have a score higher than the cut off or apply for a longer program that gets you a longer work permit.. 1 year is not always enough to secure an Articling position, they are extremely difficult to secure! I suggest that you speak to an immigration consultant or use the CIC website to explore your chances of getting a PR before and after completion of your program. I had to wait until my LLM ended to add the extra 30 points for Canadian education and retake IELTS to get the top score that helped me make the cut for Express Entry!

[@MemoryonWheels2024]

Do i have to complete my LLM in Canada and also complete NCA course simultaneously? Or I can opt for any 1 of them.?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

You can opt for 1 of them, you can either take all NCA exams separately or complete your NCA courses as part of your LLM Common Law.

[@hrishikeshlakhotia7774]

@@mshappyfeet7168 I have a doubt at this point only. As, it is understood that LLM in Common Law fulfils the NCA requirements. Hence, does completing NCA courses as a part of my LLM program in Common Law mean that I am exempted from writing NCA exams? If I complete an LLM in Common Law having NCA courses, would I still need to write NCA exams for getting the certificate of qualification from NCA, or I can directly proceed further just after completing the LLM Program?

[@mshappyfeet7168]

If you complete all your NCA courses as part of your LLM common law program then you do not need to take NCA exams separately. Your law school can send a letter to NCA confirming that you have completed all the NCA courses during your LLMCL and you will need to send your LLMCL transcripts to NCA, then they will issue the certificate of qualification!

[@mshappyfeet7168]

Aditi Purao You will have to take the NCA exams either as part of your LLM or separately but there is no exemption from these! Also, so far I know the LLM programs have to be approved by NCA, if you are planning to take your NCA courses within your LLM!
