For Internationally Trained Lawyers
Hi, I’m Mo!
Are you an Internationally Trained Lawyer looking to practice law in Canada?
Navigating the path to becoming a licensed lawyer in Canada can be challenging, but you’re not alone in this journey. If you’re seeking guidance and resources to help you through the process, you’ve come to the right place!
Check out my YouTube channel for valuable resources for Internationally Trained Lawyers (ITLs). I share insights, tips, and practical advice to help you navigate the licensing process.
My Story
I was called to the Nigerian Bar at 21, and two years later, at 23, I was called to the Ontario Bar. The path to becoming a lawyer in Ontario wasn’t easy—it was filled with challenges that opened my eyes to the unique struggles that internationally trained lawyers (ITLs) face when trying to practice in a new country. I shared my success story in a LinkedIn post that unexpectedly went viral. Suddenly, my inbox was flooded with messages from other ITLs seeking advice. I launched a YouTube channel dedicated to helping ITLs navigate the licensing process in Canada. Through this platform, I share the resources and insights I wish I’d had, supporting fellow lawyers as they become licensed in a new country.
