    I have a doubt after watching the video though. I am new to Canada and trying to join the financial industry with around 1-year experience in my home country. I am currently having a banking customer service job, but I want to be part of the wealth management staff. I keep sending resumes but unfortunately no reply so far.
    Do you have any advice? should I take some course like Canadian Securities Course (CSC)
    and Conduct and Practices Handbook (CPH) to increase the chance of getting the new job?
    Or
    Should I just keep looking for some more relevant job like the banking teller? Once I luckily get the new job, then take the course mentioned CSC & CPH?
