National Committee on Accreditation (NCA)

The National Committee on Accreditation (NCA) is an organization that evaluates the credentials of internationally educated lawyers and law graduates to determine if they meet Canadian standards. Its purpose is to assess whether their legal education and experience align with Canadian legal requirements. Once approved by the NCA, candidates typically complete a series of exams or other requirements to qualify for licensing and practice law in Canada. The NCA helps ensure that internationally trained legal professionals meet the country's standards, facilitating their integration into the Canadian legal system and fostering diversity within the profession.
