I have an LLB, and LLM from the UK where I was also called to the Bar. Currently practising as a barrister in a non-UK jurisdiction, I wish to move permanently to Canada and understand that it will be quite difficult to do the NCA, get an articling position and be called to the Bar there. I am willing to convert to any other suitable field and get a decent job. I am also French speaking and currently completing a DU (Diplome Universitaire) in Civil Law with a French University. What possibilities are there for me?
