US Lawyer - Transitional Roles on Arrival?
Our family is relocating to Toronto for my spouse’s job. I’m a California attorney, and I’ll study for the bar part-time after arrival.

But, does anyone has an idea of transitional roles not needing immediate accreditation? Especially those that might be open to newer arrivals? I suppose these would be either legal-adjacent roles, or US firms?

My background is largely in government. Any advice or experience is welcome. Thanks!

Do you have experience in US immigration? There’s always firms hiring for US attorneys. You would still likely need the FLC designation though.

Not really. And yes, I will be filing for FLC!

Related question: is there anyone here that has transitioned their practice from the US to Canada?
