Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

As she may already know, lawyers are regulated in Ontario by The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC).

For some information specific on how to become licensed to practice law in Ontario, she may wan to contact The Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) directly.

She can find some detailed information on the Ontario Immigration website in the Internationally Trained Lawyer section.

She may decide to work in an alternative job while she works towards getting licensed to practice law in Ontario, or even as a new career choice.

She can also find some helpful information regarding alternative jobs for internationally trained lawyers in our Settlement.Org Alternative Jobs - Lawyer section.

There she will also find specific information related to becoming a Mediator.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
