Ontario

CPD Requirements: The Law Society of Ontario requires lawyers and paralegals to complete 12 CPD hours, including 3 professionalism hours and up to 9 substantive hours, by December 31 of each year. Between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020, lawyers and paralegals must complete 3 professionalism hours focusing on equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI). Each year thereafter, they must complete 1 professionalism hour addressing EDI. These EDI hours count toward the 3 professionalism hours required each year. All credits must be reported by December 31. No credits may be carried over to the next reporting period. For additional information, please see the FAQ page on the Law Society of Ontario's website.

Completing Your CPD Requirements with PLI: PLI and SEC Institute's live seminars, live webcasts and co-sponsored locations qualify as "interactive" credit. There is no limit to the number of credits an attorney can earn via interactive programs. View PLI programs approved for Ontario CPD credit.

PLI and SEC Institute's on-demand web programs, MP3s, and MP4s qualify as "recorded" credit. If viewed without a colleague, attorneys are limited to 6 credits of recorded programs per year.
