Risk Analyst in AM

Hi,

I come from a non target school in Canada where I completed a bachelor of commerce. Currently working in government at a financial regulatory agency. I am an analyst responsible for risk assessments (market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest risk) of financial institutions (credit unions, insurance companies, reciprocals, captives etc.) I am going to be pursuing the FRM designation, with the end goal of ultimately moving to an investment firm such as a pension fund or Asset Management firm in risk management. Would this be a stretch given my background coming from a non target school and not coming from the private sector?

Thanks for any input
