Canadian law is based on the British legal system, however, a lawyer (there are no solicitors in Canada) from England or any other Commonwealth country would have to take the bar examination before being allowed to practice law in Canada.
I suspect before taking the exam an upgrade in Canadian law would be required.

You're kidding right? Is Canada a part of England?? What kind of soliciter are you if you can't see that there are differences between the laws of two different countries?

Most common law countries give some credit for education and experience, but usually require some re-certification before the person can actually practice in the new jurisdiction. This may be a simple informal process, or it may be a bar-exam type test.
