Scope of getting clerkship as NCA students

[Law40]

Hi, I am NCA qualified candidate, who have previously clerked at court of appeal in another common law jurisdiction country. I have been thinking about clerkship in canada (superior/federal/court of appeal) as well but i am not sure if the this opportunity is open to NCA students (rather only JD students are considered primarily).
 

If anyone has any idea, kindly share your thoughts. If you know someone who made it to clerkship as NCA student, please share details.

Here's what the BC Courts say:

I am enrolled in a law school outside of Canada and am applying to the program. Is there anything in particular that I must consider?

To work as a law clerk, you must hold a Juris Doctor or Bachelor of Laws from a recognized Canadian university or its equivalent. You are responsible for demonstrating that your degree is equivalent to a Juris Doctor or Bachelor of Laws from a recognized Canadian university (e.g., by demonstrating that you have received training in Canadian law such as may be acquired through an exchange program). Note that you are not required to hold the degree when you apply for the position, but you must have obtained your degree prior to starting your clerkship. Applicants should not be called to the bar at the time of their application.

 

I am not sure how it works when applying after law school as a NCA candidate. 

I know someone clerking in BC who went to law school in the US (but just graduated).  

Hope that's helpful. I would say check out the court you're thinking of applying to and perhaps ask to confirm.
