THE BAR OF APPROVED ACTIVITIES FOR THE PURPOSES OF MANDATORY CONTINUING EDUCATION

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Mandatory continuing education and its operating rules are raising many questions among members of the Bar.

You will find below answers to the most frequently asked questions about certificates of attendance. However, if additional information is needed, please send us your questions at the following email address : [email protected].

Finally, if your questions relate to other aspects of mandatory continuing education, we invite you to read “The most frequently asked questions” section available on the Bar Website (http://www.barreau.qc.ca/avocats/formation-continue/obligatoire/index.html?Langue=en) or to contact the Quebec Bar at 514 954-3400.

1. I attended an approved activity of The Bar of Montreal. When will I receive my certificate of attendance ?

The certificates of attendance for approved activities of The Bar of Montreal are transmitted within 4 to 8 weeks following the activity. It would be greatly appreciated if you could wait a minimum of 8 weeks before contacting The Bar of Montreal concerning its reception.

2. How will I receive my certificate of attendance ?

Certificates of attendance are emailed or sent by regular mail following the coordinates inscribed at the Roll of the Order.

3. What should I do if a period of eight weeks has passed since I attended an approved activity, and I still have not received my certificate of attendance ?

If, after the prescribed period of eight weeks, you still have not received your certificate of attendance, we invite you first to check your spam inbox. Certificates are sent by mass email and it happens regularly that management software treat The Montreal Bar’s emails as spam.

If the certificate of attendance is not in your spam inbox, we invite you to complete the "Application for Certification" form and to return it following the established procedure. The Bar of Montreal will process your demand within 10 working days of its receipt.

4. I lost my certificate of attendance. Can I get another one ?

Yes. To do so, you must complete the "Application for Certification" form and return it to us following the established procedure. The Bar of Montreal will process your demand within 10 working days of its receipt.

Please note that The Bar of Montreal will retain documentation for a period of three months after each reference period of two years. For example, the actual prescribed period began April 1st, 2017 and will end March 31st, 2019. The documentation relating to approved activities held during this period will be retained until June 30, 2019.

5. I do not remember which approved activities of the Bar of Montreal I attended. Can you provide me with a list ?

The Bar of Montreal does not hold records of attendance listed per lawyer. It is therefore your responsibility to keep a personal log of approved activities you attended.

6. I must complete the mandatory continuing education record for the Bar of Quebec and I need the reference number of the approved activities I attended. Where can I find it ?
