Accreditation in Canada
Accreditation
All foreign-trained law students must have their degrees accredited by the NCA to practice in Canada.
An ‘abroad’ law degree must meet the criteria for “an approved Canadian qualifying law degree” set by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada (FLSC) to qualify the degree holder for eligibility to a provincial bar admissions program. The National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) is the FLSC coordinator that accredits abroad law degrees.
