How To Become A Lawyer In Canada After Studying Law From India | Ft. Mr. Aman Kalra | Letter of Law

In the 24th episode of Letter of Law Interviews, I am delighted to host Mr. Aman Kalra - a dual licensed lawyer (Canada and India). In this episode Aman comprehensively discuses the requirements of becoming a licensed lawyer in Canada for Indian law graduates.
We talk about pursuing an LL.M from Canada, the NCA exams, finding Articling positions, the Ryerson LPP, the solicitor and barrister exams, getting a job, and the overall life as a lawyer in Canada.
I had an incredible time speaking with Aman and got to learn a lot. I hope that the viewers who wish to chart out a legal career in Canada will derive great value from this episode.
Happy watching!

As per BCI Rule 49, a full time employee cannot continue to hold Indian Bar registration and must notify and surrender advocate enrollment certificate to Bar council where registered in India. So, dual licence i.e. while employed in a law firm in canada and simultaneously holding Indian licence to practice in in India is illegal as per BCI Rules. If enrollment certificate is not surrenderd and anyone complains to BCI, one has to loose the registration on permanent basis. So, better to surrender and can be revoked at anytime on arrival India when intend to practice only in India. Please bring this fact to the foreign settled Indian lawyers, who still hold Indian bar council registration.

In india and Bangladesh we follow the British law but in Canada they follow American law. So what is the difference and challenges between this???

In the USA, India and UK - Common law system.
