After panel interview I got a call for the direct bank interview within one week. At first I went to the wrong branch for the interview and funny enough they were expecting someone that same day and I was interviewed, but as God would have it, while I was on my way to another interview almost a week later, the proposed branch I was originally supposed to visit called me, asking why I haven't shown up for interview. I explained that I was present for the interview, then I realized that I made the mistake. Then we fixed another interview for that same day. After the interview I was heading to, i branched to the attend the bank interview, glad that I had a second chance cos the 1st mistaken one didn't go too well. Almost a week later, on a Friday evening, I was asked to go for medicals the next day, and documentation started on the following Monday. After which I got my deployment letter and reported immediately. Na so the thing go

My bro, to be honest the ball is in your court. Increasing your chances in your chosen career or settling for cheaper province, house etc. Dont get me wrong, calgary is a great city with opportunities. Mortgage prices in ontario is on d average 400 -700k on the average, mayne excluding Toronto. This is not dissimilar to Calgary. Please do your research and be more informed so that you can make informed decisions. Weigh the opportunity cost - alternative of higher chances in the financial sector fore gone for doing a job u may not like and/or barely making enough for your mortgage because people told you it is a cheaper city? Is it enough for this trade-off? Do the maths and then draw your priorities...career / cost of living / house in the order that best suits your interest.

As per your last question, check for the location/province of such programs when they're advertised, that should give you a clue. I'm not familiar with that tbh.

If you're not getting hired as a Management trainee in one of these banks, then you must possess a skill relevant to the bank. Easiest way to navigate this is to think about the guys that work in Bank Head offices in Nigeria, what skills do they possess? Risk management, audit, Data analysis/MIS etc. If you're selling yourself as a fund transfer or teller, then you may have to settle for Financial advisor as a means of getting in, and then rising through the ranks.

PS: Banking hub + maximum opportunities in this field is Toronto...

The above link will answer the question on difference. I know if you are converting from ACCA to CPA, your added designation to CPA is CGA (General Accounting)while if you are converting from CIMA your added designation to CPA is CMA (Management Accounting) For CA, i think it is for those that are in public accounting.


Then for changing path, it is difficult unless with internal reference. The best is to get in with the skills you have (foot in the door) and then change within the company. They normally recruit based on experience and not what you want unfortunately. But you can give it a try. If you can defend the finance skills in your resume then good. Meanwhile Tax is also a good one over here.

The career path for finance analyst is attractive. From finance analyst to senior finance analyst to finance manager to controller/chief financial officer to CEO.. Most CFOs end up being CEOs because they work closely with CEOs and have understood the challenges of the role. So it really makes sense changing your path. And while at this you try and get a Canadian based masters degree.

My posting is not cordinated because i am multitasking presently.

My broda-man & sisda-woman, of a truth, what worked for him might not work for another. It can also turn other way. It's just that work is limited for who can grab it.

You will get a mail scheduling you for a phone interview. Not everyone will get this mail though, even though you might have passed.

Those that fail the tests were mailed already, knew 2 people in the category. As for others, it is now the real review start, after which they will contact those who are closer to whatever it is they needed.

Goodluck to us all, it's not a do or die, don't throw anxiety over it guys. What will be will be, just give it your best try, and never stop dreaming.
