A bit about myself: 28M, I completed my bachelors in commerce in 2019 and post grad (marketing and sales) in 2022. I have 3 years of experience in different fields such as site management and supply chain management. Right now, I am on my break of 1 year outside Canada and plan to return afterward.

I am considering career change to CFP. I don’t have any prior experience in finance but have read multiple books regarding personal finance, and I loved it.

I have completed my research and will be going for the FP canada coursework. As I am on 1 year of break, I am going to take direct path to CFP.

I am not sure if I am taking the right decision of changing my career to wealth planning and management.
How are you guys doing after the exam?
What are the earnings like?
What to expect for an entry level?

Also I am planning to find a job to complete 3 years of experience after I land. Will also give my exam after landing.

I might write CSC before landing to get entry level job.

Thanks in advance!

I have a CRS score of 500 and currently in express entry pool. I am way behind getting an invitation and right now my only option is to get foreign experience to gain 50 extra points. I have left canada 6 months back and currently working to gain foreign experience. I still have 6 months of experience left.

Before coming to canada, while I was studying online for the first semester, I was in Wipro and had 8 months of experience (Not sure if that will count as experience). I asked lawyer if I can add this experience, they said you cannot as it was never mentioned before during my study, work permit etc.

Now I am not sure, should I wait for 6 more months to complete my experience or should I add my previous experience and gain 50 points. I am not sure what changes will come after 6 months.
