Distinction between « Practising advocate » and « Canadian legal advisor »
The Canadian legal advisor may use the prefix “Me” or “Mtre” before his name provided it is followed by the title “Canadian legal advisor” or the initials “c.l.a.” and a reference to the Canadian province or territory where he is legally authorized to practise law.

He may prepare and draw up proceedings and plead or act before any tribunal, but only with respect to matters under federal jurisdiction.
