ACCREDITATION
Accreditation information by Province, for the 2025 IFA Canada International Tax Conference below.
ALBERTA
For Alberta lawyers, consider including this activity as a CPD learning activity in your annual Continuing Professional Development Plan.
While Continuing Legal Education (CLE) providers may offer activities that may be included in an Alberta lawyer’s CPD plan, the Law Society does not accredit activities provided by CLE providers.
The Law Society has a broad approach to the types of learning activities a lawyer can engage in for continuing professional development. As per Rule 67.1 of the Rules of the Law Society of Alberta, both formal and informal learning activities can count, provided the requirements under the Rule are met. t is each lawyer’s responsibility to determine whether a learning activity meets these criteria and therefore qualifies as continuing professional development.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
