I have made an express entry profile and currently on 453. I am practicing lawyer in British Columbia and enrolled with law society of BC. Am i eligible to select certificate of qualification under express entry. What professions are considered under express entry for certificate of qualification.

It will be considered under Skilled migration under the following -
Professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession

Check the link below-

I guess if you have ECA for your law degree then that along with your Certificate of qualification you can get above points as required.

Best, RV

BTW I am also a lawyer and intend to get NOC in Canada. But I have heard that it is nearly impossible to find Articleship, which is sine qua non for getting registered in the Bar.
Please give your opinions?
