Patent agent trainee job with US degrees?

[zacchaeus21]

I'm thinking to apply for jobs in Canada as a patent agent trainee. I've finished my studies in US with Master's degree in Computer Science and LLM in Intellectual Property Law. With all these years of study in English, I don't want to go back to Asia. Do Canadian law firms hire foreigners?

Patent agents should have at least an undergraduate university degree (many have advanced degrees as well) in science or engineering. This background greatly facilitates communication with inventors and enhances the agent's ability to understand and describe even the most technically challenging inventions. A patent agent should also have good communication and writing skills in order to describe the inventions they protect.
Your American degree is recognized in Canada for this purpose !
