Hello inspiring lawyers,

I'm LLB student and I'm about to graduate soon. I'm thinking to about studying LLM in Canada and to get permanent. so I thought about doing one of these LLM NCA courses that meet the NCA requirements to enter the bar exam.

my question is, do I have to take one of these courses to land a job in Canada or normal LLM would do the same thing?

Note : I don't have to get lawyer licence my priority is to work there and to get permanent.

Dear Obi9, if your priority is to immigrate then attending any one year university or college program would add a lot of points to your immigration profile. Also, check if you have other credentials that will satisfy the CIC. Admission to an LLM program in your case (as foreign LLB) would probably be a reasonable ground for Canadian embassy to issue you a student visa.
If you think of working in other capacity in the field of law (law clerk, paralegal) and not necessarily as a lawyer you would however need a membership in the corresponding body - of paralegals or law clerks. And graduating an LLM program does not qualify you as such but the specialized programs do.
Think wisely whether it is worth to spend 50K for an LLM that you do not need and that has no other use anywhere in the world just to improve chances for an immigration. May be, in this case an accelerated diploma of a paralegal would be more useful. For example, one from a Conestoga college. On the other hand, if money is not an issue, having graduated that program would give you more flexibility and may be useful if at some point you decide to practice law.
If you ask me, I think tan LLM in Canada could provide some connections that may lead to an internship and possibly articling.
Also, before deciding for an LLM research better on the recognition procedure for foreign lawyers. In fact, graduating such an LLM program does not automatically enable you to sit for the bar exam. Bar exams and Nca equivalence exams are not the same.The hardest part for such LLM graduate would be to find an articling position after graduation.
