Hello SBZ:
Should your husband wish to seek admission into the world-renowned university, yet within the price range pointed out (or even lower!), Canada is a right way to go, I believe.
Among the Faculties (Law Schools) likely to have the best reputation I would name:
Toronto (truly renowned -- some compare it to Columbia (US) -- though pricy);
University of British Columbia (great research university; 7K (well, actually 4K) for thesis-track LL.M. and some 28K for LL.M. in Common Law);
McGill (again, it's within your price range; well-known outside of Canada);
Osgoode (York University) (some 12K I guess).
You may also like to consider a few universities lower in rank, say, Dalhousie, Ottawa, Victoria etc.
As regards the time frames, most Canadian universities expect LL.M. students to be enrolled full-time for at least a year (3 terms). Though, you'd better consult their official web-sites.
When it comes to futher details, you might also benefit from reading previous threads on Canadian universities on this forum.
Better still, before your husband applies, contact the desirable law schools and find out from the admissions committees on specific details, standards, tuition & fees etc.
Best of luck to you and your husband in your endeavors!

My hunch (and experience) tells me SBZ is from India. If so, her husband may be interested in subsequent employment in Canada.
I do not recommend an LLM degree from US, UK, Canada, etc as a means to find employment in that respective country. Even those who graduate at top (I mean the top of the top, like Stanford, Yale, Harvard, Oxford and the like) have difficulties (and huge ones) finding jobs.... that should give you a hint.
As for law schools in big C, I recommend Toronto and Osgoode

Dear SBZ: provided that's the case what hawkme supposes, you'd better listen to his words. For he's right.
Anyway, be that as it may, don't rely too much on people for advice and follow your path.

Thank you Arishka and hawkme. I appreciate your help and advice. Our first priority is to get admitted in a good uni, and of course we would like to avail the opportunity of finding work as well.
And no hawkme, we are not from India. We belong to Pakistan.

India, Pakistan, same thing from the point of you I was talking about. Anyways, you share a border with them (India) and have a connected history...
Don't miss my point though. If you're thinking he'll get a job in Canada/US based on the McGill LLM you are making a huge mistake. But don't take my word for it, do your research and you'll see I'm right.
