ONTARIO PARALEGAL CPD • 2026 REPORTING YEAR

Nine-hour bundles: compare the three agendas

All three are $59 and all three cover most of your year. The difference that matters is whether the bundle completes your three accredited Professionalism hours.

$59 each
Start here
Substantive hours can never fill a Professionalism gap, so the Professionalism component is the part that must come from an accredited provider. Bundles 9A and 9B contain all three of those hours. Bundle 9C contains two, and needs one more added separately. Choose on that first, then on subject matter.
COMPLETES YOUR PROFESSIONALISM
BUNDLE 9A

Court and Defence Practice

BUNDLE 9C

Evidence, Advocacy and Commercial Practice

9.5 hours
2.0 Professionalism, including 1.0 EDI
7.5 Substantive
Focus. Evidence, cross-examination, commercial contracts, immigration inadmissibility, disclosure.
CICC approved sessions. 3 of 7, which suits licensees who also hold an RCIC designation.
Still needed for your year. 1.0 accredited Professionalism hour, plus 2.5 further hours. Add Virtual Proceedings and Best Practices for Tribunal Practitioners on 30 December to complete the Professionalism minimum.
If you are considering more than one bundle
The 2026 calendar holds only two accredited EDI hours and two accredited Ethics hours in total, so the Professionalism sessions repeat across bundles. The Ethical Litigator on 21 October appears in 9A, 9B and 9C. Virtual Proceedings on 30 December appears in 9A and 9B. Hours attended once count once and should not be reported twice.
Scheduling
The 30 December session falls one day before the completion deadline. If you are relying on it for your third Professionalism hour, register early and keep a fallback in reserve. An alternative EDI date is available on 9 September.

What the LSO requires of you in 2026

12 CPD hours each calendar year, including at least 3 accredited Professionalism hours, of which at least 1 must address equality, diversity and inclusion, and up to 9 Substantive hours. Substantive hours do not require accreditation but must be relevant to your practice. Complete by 31 December 2026 and report through the LSO Portal by 31 March 2027. Hours are not carried over.

Every session is a live, real time webinar with direct access to the educator, and is released as on-demand video at no extra cost. All times are Eastern (Toronto). All sessions are taught by the Hon. Justice Rick Libman, Ph.D., except Navigating Inadmissibility Grounds, which is taught by Melissa Harris.
