With the recent pandemic disruptions, you might be facing challenges in staying motivated due to uncertainties and the overwhelming workload ahead. Your career goals and timelines may feel derailed, and some objectives might seem unattainable. The lengthy road to Canadian licensing can be daunting, especially for internationally trained lawyers and NCA students. But remember, you're not alone in this journey.
To maintain motivation during this long process, it's helpful to break down the Canadian licensing process into smaller milestones. While there are three main stages – writing the NCA exams, the bar exam(s), and completing articling or experiential training – view these as a series of bite-sized goals. Celebrate each achievement, be it completing an individual NCA exam, a portion of the bar exam, or each month of your articling or training.
Creating a visual representation of your progress, like a "Licensing Process Goal Tracker," can be immensely motivating. This tracker helps you stay organized and provides a sense of accomplishment, even on days when you feel tired or demotivated due to the lengthy process.
If you'd like to start your own tracker, you can download the template, provided by the author, and customize it to suit your needs. Add or remove activities based on the number of NCA exams you have and the duration of your articling. This visual representation can also be applied to break down your study goals and milestones if you prefer a more detailed approach.
