Re: NCA Exams

I would caution anyone considering this route as it is widely reported that the federal NCA gate is now effectively starting to constrict, if not shut. You could consider contacting the relevant...

Re: NCA Exams

I dunno. One man's "straightforward" is another man's struggle - I would be wary of any advice on this forum that intimates that the whole thing is not one big headache.

Good luck.

No problem.
I think January results would be coming out about now?, so maybe some others will chime in with some input here on how they found things generally.

Re: NCA Exams

I tried to polish off 7 in one sitting, with varying success.

Tip: Canadians like a lot of flowing, esoterical academic open-ended hogwash in their answers. It appears if you restrict your self to...

Re: NCA Exams

I actually disagree with AC here as the NCA only gives credit for paper, not experience. I also think that with another 13 years? past without actual practice as a lawyer, that unfortunately they may...

Re: NCA Exams

Make no mistake...all such programs are part of the overall protectionist money grab. That said, if you have the $, and time, it cannot hurt.

Yes - I just started back up in BC.
I should say that I had immigration status on my side though.

Good luck.

Re: NCA Exams

Set aside an average of 2 to 4 years of your life, mostly depending on your immigration status, $, and ability to find articles post-NCA.

Re: Time lag

I have it on good authority that one of the August exams was marked on 16th October. One wonders just what they did from the end August :sneaky:

Re: NCA Exams

Maybe the kid got it wrong.

For example, is every form of employment regulated by strict common law of contract? No. Military service.

Back on strict topic:

Used it for what exactly - do you mean as some sort of prep for the NCA exams, or as an alternative to meeting the required courses? I had not heard of any 'distance learning' alternatives.
