Hey!

Not sure if anyone got back to you on this but you need to have an LSAT score for Windsor who writes this explicitly on their website and their last accepted LSAT under usual admission criteria is January.

Windsor Transfer

https://www.uwindsor.ca/law/585/transfer-students

All applications are subject to the University of Windsor’s usual admission criteria.

Queens Transfer

https://law.queensu.ca/admissions/jd/admissions-process/upper-years

Doesn't explicitly say if an LSAT score is required but does say preference is given for Canadian school applicants. I am also fairly positive you need an LSAT and they usually have fairly few if any spots for transfers. 

TRU Law Transfer

https://www.tru.ca/law/admissions/upper-year.html

Also requires the LSAT

Most schools that take transfer students still consider them based on what they applied to law school with (GPA/LSAT) and 1L grades. I haven't heavily looked into this but I do know majority of Canadian law schools only accept transfers from other Canadian institutions. You may have benefited from taking the January test.  Hope this helps to some extent. Best of luck!

I spoke to both Windsor and Queens and they both let me know that I would not have to write the LSAT because I am in international transfer and was not required to. Based on that what do you think my chances are? Sorry for the late reply aha
