A: Go to https://nca.legal/process/self-assess... and it will provide an idea of what your next steps will be. Q: How to prepare for NCA exams and scope of Foreign lawyers in Canada? A: Review the syllabus for each subject you have been assessed to do, do the readings, prepare summaries and do the practice exams. Q: Can you work as paralegal without certificate as you can London? A: In Ontario - no, in other Provinces it is possible, but most law firms request and prefer someone who has completed a paralegal program in Canada. Q: When do you think is the best time to apply for articling positions? Would it be while you're writing your NCA's or do you recommend to wait until after you get your certificate of qualification? A: Most law firms won't look at your applications until you have your Certificate of Qualification. That said, you can start networking ahead of time to get information on different firms and develop relationships.
