If you are planning on applying for a summer internship at a canadian law firm you would probably want to do that ASAP because i'm pretty sure most of the deadlines for the summer of 09 are in November. At least at the big law firms.
Besides that all I can tell you is to get your application in as early as you can. NCA takes at least 3 months to evaluate an application.

What country did you study in? How many exams are they making you write? I don't plan on being in Canada this summer because realistically no one will hire an American 2L because I wont be able to article starting next summer.
