Re:      Form S-1 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-119986)
         -------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is being delivered by us, as counsel to Kanbay International, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Company's Form
S-1 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-119986) initially filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 27, 2004
(as amended through the date hereof, the "Registration Statement"), under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration
Statement relates to the registration of the offer and sale of up to 5,750,000
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), which may be offered by certain selling stockholders pursuant to the
Registration Statement (the foregoing shares being herein referred to as the
"Secondary Shares"). This opinion letter is being delivered in accordance with
the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the
Securities Act.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we examined and relied upon such
certificates, corporate records, agreements, instruments and other documents,
and examined such matters of law, that we considered necessary or appropriate as
a basis for the opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity
of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the
authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material
to this opinion that we did not independently establish or verify, we have
relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other
representatives of the Company and others.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and
limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Secondary Shares
are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company.
