Really kind of you thank you buddy youre a star

Financial Advisor is quoted as a TEER 1 example in the NOC system. If you could pass yourself off as a Financial manager, then you would be TEER 0, even better.

thabk you, I also notice sales manager is TEER 0 which I’ve done too and currently own a financial brokerage so think it would be classed as TEER 0 so that’s the best approach. No success job hunting yet sadly

The OP needs a job offer/LMIA to get a visa though, and I’m not sure that’s likely with a job that isn’t in demand, and without experience of the financial markets in Canada. He could always try of course, but I think his other job may be more likely to result in sponsorship.

I disagree on this point, with the UK’s more bureaucratic CV format when applying for jobs, it can be very hard to get passed what someone might consider an omission in their education. However, Resumes are far more flexible and give you more opportunity to sell yourself, with personal profile, notes, work examples and so on. Depends on the job and field of course, but I think the US/Canada approach to hiring is far more forgiving a lot of the time. There is a cultural belief here that anyone can succeed in something if they apply themselves and that is reflected in the attitudes in these kinds of areas.

I can only agree. The UK wants direct experience (square pegs in square holes) but I worked for a multinational in Canada where they were more open to what they called 'cross-functionality' and liked people who could adapt, within reason of course and this was in a highly regulated industry (pharmaceuticals). I think the term 'sell yourself' is accurate and the conservative style of job seeking followed in the UK does not always work in North America. Although, I also understand that selling yourself does not come easy for many Brits as many prefer to be judged on merit.

Thank you thats super handy to know, oddly I educate children in schools on CV writing and job applications but its been about 9 years since I've done it myself and doing so for the CA job market is obviously totally knew to me so Ill adapt my CV to be more 'sell myself' instead of 'here's a list of things I've achieved'

It could be regarded as a game with no rules. My first interview in Canada was conducted by a guy from the back streets of Blackburn in Lancashire. I quickly realised that any attempt to sell myself would be regarded as total BS and the kiss of death for my job prospects. I had to change tack very quickly and I did get the job.

A resume is not a CV. The purpose of a resume is to tell a prospective employer how your skills and abilities will meet their needs.

I suggest that there is little point in rending a resume until you have found out what their needs are.

I think the bold bit is key.
