On July 1st, 2003, 6 provinces signed the National Mobility Agreement (NMA) which provides for temporary and permanent mobility of lawyers throughout the signatory jurisdictions. If you’re in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, or Nova Scotia and have a client in one of the others in that list you’ll be able to act for them in that province for up to 100 days each year.

To get a better idea of what this is about check out the summary posted by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada on their website.
