Are you currently in, or considering, the NCA process for internationally trained lawyers looking to requalify in Canada? Do you have immigration or employment-related questions pertaining to building a legal career in British Columbia? Don’t miss our upcoming panel dedicated to addressing these questions. We are thrilled to have Daniel Lee (Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP), Amandeep S. Hayer (Hayer Law), and Jennifer Lau (Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP) join us on this panel with their expertise on the subject. Jennifer will provide an employer’s perspective with respect to employment issues for NCA and LLMCL candidates, while Daniel and Amandeep will draw from their daily immigration law practice and share immigration considerations that individuals who are considering the NCA accreditation process should be mindful of as they consider working in the legal profession in British Columbia.
