Hi all,
I have my LLB degree through Unisa (completed 3 of the 4 board exams and 1.5 years of articles) and would like to immigrate to Canada, Ireland or the United Kingdom.
Can anyone give me a bit of direction and advice on whether i would need to do a bridging course or whether i could merely write the Bar in the respective country while being employed.
Thanks

It's usually not that easy and will depend on the country. I know that in the UK for instance, you'll need to do a bar training course. In Canada, you need to get your degree evaluated by the NCA - National Committee on Accreditation - and the become licensed, which includes an experiential requirement, although that can be waived if you've already been practicing as a lawyer.
But beyond simple licensing procedures, finding a lawyer job in those tough markets, as an international applicant, might be even harder.
