There are no jobs on this forum. Have you passed the bar or taken a paralegal course?

 

[k.h.p.]

Depending on your province of residence and the jurisdiction of your legal training, you'll either need to take some foreign lawyer equivalency training and a professional legal training course and pass a licensing exam or you'll need to go back to law school for a while. Paralegals are similarly regulated.

Unless you are moving from a common law jurisdiction with close relationships to Canada, moving here to be a lawyer or paralegal is difficult and expensive.

Absolutely do not attempt to practice law without a license.

There are many paralegal positions you can find on the job boards such as Indeed.com. You have to have the education though. You cannot just come to work as a paralegal.
