Hello, is CFA (chartered financial analyst) recognized in Canada also?

cochtrane:
Just in case anyone is up for it, putting money in the Canadian/US stock market is really not a bad idea, especially now that the global market has tanked a bit. You really couldn't do this effectively in Nigeria given the shady dealings and insider trading going on on the NSE on the one hand, and because there is no ready access to this market for Nigerians on the other. But being a Canadian PR now offers you the rare opportunity to dive into the global market and profit from the growth of large US/Canadian companies. Buying ETFs which track the Dow or the S&P500 is always a good starting point, if you are scared of the uncertainties associated with individual stocks. These (ETFs) always mostly go up anyways, sometimes returning on the average about 7% annually, more than what any savings account will give. And there's no better time than now in this supposed "bear" market. Essentially, buying into the Canadian/US economy offers the chance to put some money in the same economy you trust to offer you a better standard of living than your home country.
