CFA with no actual experience means nothing. most ppl in vancouver have CFA bc they wrote the exams (i know there is the 4 year experience requirement, but it's not hard to BS your way through that).
ppl come to vancovuer to chill out and settle, they get their experience somewhere where you can get experience (TO, NY, etc), and then give up the BS 12 hr days, move to vnacouver, work 9-6, make way less, but are (or should) already be most well off...
not to scare anyone away from CFA, but all the ppl I know in 'CFA' roles aren't experienced in Vancovuer before getting their current job.
