The Federation does not issue licences to foreign lawyers who wish to be licenced as Foreign Legal Consultants (or practitioners) in Canada. Foreign lawyers (or Canadians who are members of a foreign law society/bar association) who wish to become licenced as Foreign Legal Consultants should communicate directly with the Law Society in which he or she wishes to be licenced.
The Federation produces a research document which shows the regulatory provisions adopted by Law Societies with respect to Foreign Legal Consultants.
