Very informative thread! Must say I am inspired by all the stores. Though I am a far way off from even getting ITA, I want to be prepared. I am applying under NOC Code 1112 (Financial & Investment Analyst). I do realise Canada has a smaller market for equity and that too some big names like RBC etc. But a lot of boutique firms have sprung up for Investment Advisory, of which I have experience too (total exp 11yrs). I was wondering if some international designations like CFA/CFP are valid in Canada and should I complete them before I come there or some Canadian distance finance course to give me enough certification to earn the employer's trust?
Qorax your post puts things into perspective and sets expectations.
I also would like to add timing as a major factor which could make a lot of difference. I see a lot of jobs right now in my area but haven't got a PR so there is no point me even applying for those, given the random timelines ( 1-5months from the stage where I am) there is no company willing to wait that much.
I am counting on the time after recieving the PPR as grace period to land an opportunity.
Just wondering - Why would you move unless you have a job lined up? Either you or your spouse? Landing without any job is risky unless you are moving from say the US, have that work ex and or have a lot of savings to dip into.
