There’s no shortage of CFAs in financial centers and in non financial centers many don’t even know what it is.

I am looking to move to Canada after giving CFA Level 3 Exam.
I have done PG Diploma in Business Management (FINANCE) and Bachelor of Commerce from India. I have about 1 year of work experience in India as a financial analyst.
Will clearing Level 3 of CFA help in getting me a good job in Canada or will I have to study in Canada to get a good job in the domain of Finance??

Canada is not a good place for immigrant CFAs. I believe we have one of the highest CFAs per capita. Plus, if you’re looking for a front office job, sadly, there are very few immigrants. I personally have seen at most 3.
In addition, you will get zero to no credit for your schooling done in India.

Yeah, learning new things, being better at your job, additional credentials, more opportunitues.  All a waste of time.

yes, for Toronto only. But that is where most of the finance jobs are.

I was wishing to capitalise on CFA’s global recognition to find myself a decent job in the domain of finance in Canada. But I think it would not be easy as such.

Back offices in Canada are filled with people that passed all 3 levels of the CFA.

^ I agree with the above, but I would put 2. before 1.

I'm now pursuing both. CFA is more profound for sure!
BTW i personally feel it's good for me to pursue both at the same time
