Work in Canada

Hi everyone,

I am Marcos, Spanish guy, I am CFA level II candidate and I studied a Bachelor of Economics, I´ve worked in a Commercial bank in the Credit Risk Management department 1 year. I obtained a Canadian Work and Holiday visa and I would like to ask you something: It would be relatively easy for me to find a financial job in Canada? or would be hard to find a job?. I´m looking to move to Toronto but I accept advice to other cities.

thanks in Advance.

Marcos.

Assuming visa is not an issue, I don’t see why not for this sort of job. You should have someone review your resume though. The format and language in Canada will probably not be the same as Spain’s.

I don’t think it will be particularly easy, as you have a foreign education and haven’t worked there, but you have two things going for you, Credit risk experience and you speak Spanish. Try to network with Scotiabank, they are pushing hard at LATAM, and they hired all my Spanish speaking friends from graduate program.
