Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

It totally depends in which department you want to go, its not necessary for Audit, Compliance and Risk etc. can you tell little bit about your work experience?

As I am new here with no experience in Canada, I am not getting calls for interviews. I am okay to start from entry level positions for this reason, and that's why I was thinking whether I should do the CSC and put it on my resume

Get now… you never know when life gets too busy… later you will regret saying I passed 1 and 2 but didn’t finish

I have a friend in Canada who is looking for new agents. Reach out I can make a connection.
