Is practical to study LLM in Canada then take New York bar?


Due to the Canada immigration requirement, I need to stay in canada for 2-3 years. Because my carrer subject is taking New York bar then practice in law, I have to do something when "trapped in the Canadian prison", the best alternative is studying law. Therefore the question is after taking some Canadian LLM courses and obtaining a LLM degree, how hard it is to pass the New York bar exam? By the way, I'm from a civil law coutry, and have got a master degree in law.

Wuyafan, I need to say that I hope you'll take the NY Bar, cross the border and leave Canada for good. If Canada is a prison for you, why did you leave your great civil law country? There are surely some LL.M programs there too! That being said, you'll need to enroll in Osgoode, Toronto or McGill in order to find a good job in NY.
