The Foreign Trained Lawyers Program (FTLP) is a 12-month Post-bachelor's Certificate in Common Law offered by the Faculty of Law for internationally trained lawyers who wish to become accredited to practice common law in Canada. It covers the five core NCA subjects and legal research and writing. Completing it does not on its own qualify graduates to practise; it fulfils all or some of the National Committee on Accreditation requirements.
Faculty: Faculty of Law | Duration: 12 months (maximum 3 years) | Intake: Fall; application portal opens October 5, 2026 for the 2027-28 program (approx. 30 admitted) | Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Six mandatory courses totalling 24 units, taught in-person on weekday evenings (5:30-9:00): Law 420 Foundations of Canadian Law, Law 400 Constitutional Law, Law 410 Crime: Law and Procedure, Law 510 Ethical Lawyering, Law 503 Administrative Law and Law 430 Professional Development (legal research and writing).

The FTLP is designed to meet the unique needs of internationally-trained lawyers who wish to practice common law in Canada. Those internationally-trained lawyers fall into two broad categories: Newcomers to Canada, including international students, who have obtained their legal education in common law, civil law, or both, and may have practiced law in their home jurisdictions, and either have obtained their Canadian Permanent Residence or Citizenship status, or will have the requisite immigration status to work in Canada when they do their articles after program completion. Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents who have obtained their legal education in common law, civil law, or both, outside Canada and have returned or are intending to return to Canada to practice common law.
