Can I do LLB in Canada without working there for a Bachelor's?
Yes, you can pursue an LLB (Bachelor of Laws) in Canada without the requirement to work during your studies.
You will need to meet admission requirements, which typically include:
- Academic background: Secondary education or a bachelor's degree (requirements vary by university)
- English proficiency: Proof through IELTS or TOEFL if English is not your first language
- LSAT: Some law schools require the Law School Admission Test
A study permit allows you to study in Canada, and working is optional - not mandatory - for LLB students.
If you plan to practice law in Canada after your degree, you must complete additional accreditation steps. For guidance on your application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
