New Canadians
When you move to a new country it’s exciting to think about the possibilities for the future, but it can also be scary at times as you consider important questions.
Where will I reside? How will I integrate into a new culture? How will I earn a living?
Career decisions are extremely important since your job will affect where you live, the professional (and also personal) contacts you will make and the money you will have available to live the life you want.
Why consider a career in financial services?
The financial services industry is a great place to work in Canada. As one of the country’s most attractive industries, it has a worldwide reputation for strength and stability.
The financial services industry plays a vital role in the financial well-being of Canadians and to the economy as a whole, which is why it continues to grow and offer outstanding job opportunities. Refer to the following statistics from a 2016 report by The Conference Board of Canada.
If you’re thinking about entering the financial services industry, or if you have experience and would like to make the transition to working in Canada, we can help.
