<font size="2">Dear Toronto Boy,
hello.. i have read all of your posts and am deeply impressed by the effort you are making in terms of guiding people here..
i am planning to move to Canada after my studies to work there but i have a few queries to make..
let me briefly introduce myself first..
My name is Adam Zia and currently i am doing BBA (honors) with major in Finance & minor in
Mathematics from Lahore School of Economics.. i still have two exact years to graduate.. and i am
planning to give cfa level 1 by June 2010 and also have some thoughts regarding FRM but not much
sure about it..
i have the following questions to ask
1) Should i partly complete my CFA and than apply for Canadian work visa and move there and work along with complete my CFA designation? or should i stay here.. complete all the levels.. gain a one two years experience and than think of going out there?
what would be the best plan for me as i want to work in the Bay Street, Toronto..
2) i have read the links you posted of GARP scandal and after that i am quite dubious about GARP's authenticity.. i have seen people opting for PRM instead of FRM because of te same reason but what i have seen is that FRM is more reputable everywhere in the world..
i would like to ask you that getting a certification in either FRM/PRM will really be an Add-on for me along with CFA? is it really worth it? justify your answer..Also if yes than which certification to go for? FRM or PRM? and why?
3) what else you can suggest me regarding working in Canada and Canadian immigration?
regards,
ADAM ZIA
