HMMMM. Thank you zandora, Jesusdway, dupsyshow etc.

It is well.

Lets see how it goes. i will just send both law degree and law sch transcripts and then we see how it goes.

thanks all.

dupyshoo:
I think I understand now. The main issue is that WES will not assess foreign law degree as "Bachelor of Laws". I tried WES Free Degree Equivalency Tool and it gave me an assessment of "Bachelor's Degree (4 years) as the Canadian Equivalent of Law degree from OAU.

@Zizicomputer, you can use the link below to assess your law degree
https://www.wes.org/ca/preliminary/poe.asp.

In addition, I am not sure you will fall under "Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees". You can however send both certificates as you don't have anything to lose by sending them.

Thank you Zandora. i appreciate your prompt response.


But then my people, can i send my law school transcript for evaluation? I got a certificate from the nigerian law school. Can i fall under the 'Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years' category?


i really need the extra points.

zandora:


This is what the CIC website states in relation to assessing law degrees:

For Express Entry, we only accept professional degrees in these fields:

medicine,
veterinary medicine,
dentistry,
podiatry,
optometry,
law,
chiropractic medicine, or
pharmacy.

ECA assessment results for Law:

Bachelor of Laws
Juris Doctor
First professional university degree in law
First professional university degree in law, preceded by [x years] prerequisite undergraduate study

Now in order to fall into the category 'Master degree or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession' you have to have either a Master's degree or the professional degree. Firstly, you don't have a Master's degree. Secondly, Canada requires any foreigner working in a regulated field to take their exams before they can practice their profession in Canada, therefore you can't use your law school certificate to practice in Canada as you'll have to write a Canadian Bar exam. A Juris Doctor degree is earned by completing law school in order to practice law either in the United States, Canada, Australia, and other common law countries of which Nigeria is a part of but like I said, you can't practice law in Canada, only in Nigeria. As a result, your degree and certificate will most likely be evaluated as a Bachelor of Laws.

'Master degree or professional degree needed to practise in a licensed profession ( for professional degree, the degree must have been in medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, law etc.,'

That's from cic page.


DEAR GREAT NAIRALANDERS,


I have a bachelor of laws degree. I also have a certificate from nig law school. My question is this:do I NEED to assess both law degree and law school transcript to fall into above category.

If the answer is yes, please which body handles transcript from law school. I am using WES for law degree assessment.

If the answer is no, is it wise to still assess both since I have them anyway.

LASTLY KINDLY NOTE I HAVE NOT BEEN PRACTICING LAW HERE AND DONT INTEND TO USE LAWYER NOC IN EE PROFILE CREATION.

Appreciate your kind replies in advance. Thank you all.


Bosypumpin how far? How is this journey going at your end? Regards

On d average please how long foes it take to get qualifications asssessed by WES?

Good day all.


Please does WES assess nig law sch qualification? I have law degree from U.I and hold a B.L from law school.

Can I apply for my transcript from law school and send it too?
