I, Puneet Singal, from India have cleared my CFA Level 2 Exam (held in June, 2012) after clearing CFA Level 1 Exam (held in December, 2011). I am also currently registered for the CFA Level 3 Exam (to be held in June, 2013). I gave both Level 1 and Level 2 Exam in India and will give Level 3 Exam also in India.
Suppose I manage to clear the exam (held in June, 2013) and after that plan to move to Canada. As CFA has global recognition, my question here is will I get a good job in the domain of finance solely on the basis of clearing 3 Levels of CFA?? Or will I have to do some Master’s course to get a good job??
Apart from this, I have done PG Diploma in Business Management (Finance), Bachelor of Commerce from India and have work experience of about 1 year as a financial analyst (in India).
Can someone guide me regarding this??

You may or may not get a job.
Work on your grammar, read a few books, take up an intesting hobby and meet some people who work in the industry.
I’ve read this a thousand times…Just getting the CFA L3 pass is not going to be enough to get you a job. Adding a MS Fin will probably not help. Why not take the FRM or something?
This is my opinion only.

It depends where you go in Canada. There is simply no guarantee however. You always have a better chance to find a job in finance with the CFA if you are already in the industry. I think the consensus is that the CFA program is not so good if you want a career change. But there should be no problem in finding a job if you are already in the finance industry. Since you have experience as a financial analyst, there is no doubt that if you pass level 3 you have a much much better chance of finding a job in Canada.

Sorry I am unable to help but I am just wondering why must you start the statement with I, [Name]. Is it taught this way in school?
