Training activities held outside the Province of Québec and approved by another Canadian bar or foreign bar as part of a Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) program of that other bar are automatically recognized by the Comité sur la formation continue obligatoire:
- regardless of whether or not the member of the Québec Bar is a member of that other bar, and;
- regardless of whether or not this training activity is offered by that bar itself or by a supplier accredited by that bar.
It is up to the member who wishes to attend such training activities to verify with the foreign bar that it is approved by under its own mandatory continuing legal education program and that it meets the requirements of the Règlement sur la formation continue obligatoire.
For these training activities, the member of the Québec Bar only has to declare in his training statement the training hours spent and to retain proof of registration and participation. No application for recognition shall be submitted to the Comité.
