Canadian Bar Admission

Does anybody out there know if/how an American lawyer can gain admission in a Canadian jurisdiction? Like say, Ontario?

Hi there -- I looked into this at one point and I believe you have to first apply to the Law Society of the Province where you're interested in practicing for recognition of your J.D. program. Then, you have to sit for a bar exam. . .

See here for more information on the Ontario process.

Good luck!
