Program details

Overview

Fondé sur la common law de l'Ontario, ce programme forme des parajuristes autorisés à représenter des clients moyennant des frais dans certains domaines permis par la loi : Cour des petites créances, infractions provinciales et sommaires devant la Cour de justice de l'Ontario, ainsi que certains tribunaux administratifs et commissions. L'étudiant s'exerce au tribunal-école de l'Institut 911 et acquiert aussi les notions nécessaires à la gestion d'une petite entreprise et à l'établissement de relations avec la clientèle. La Cité est la seule institution à offrir cette formation en français au Canada.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic entry follows La Cité's general secondary-school route: the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, the Quebec Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES), or the New Brunswick DES, in each case or success in La Cité's mature-applicant test for candidates of 19 or over without a diploma. The programme states no further course prerequisites and no programme-specific language-test score. La Cité's institution-wide language-test page sets a minimum of 375 points (written comprehension) on the TCF or 352 points on the TEF for applicants who must demonstrate French competency by test. International applicants qualify by holding a baccalaureate or secondary diploma, or by being in their final year of secondary school or lycée with proof of enrolment. La Cité states that its admission process is competitive because of limited capacity and that admission is never guaranteed even when every published requirement is met.
