How Does One Break Into The Toronto Finance Industry From New York?

I have a few years of niche (i.e. FIG) investment banking experience as an analyst from a middle market bank. Have the opportunity to work at a long/short equity fund (covering a niche subsector) but I do not think it is something I want to do long-term. Ideally, I want to do corporate dev, asset management, or even real estate private equity in Toronto one day (not as a real estate agent, however). I genuinely can't figure out what jobs would be available for someone like me. For context, I studied at one of the top universities in the GTA. I have family ties in Canada and I want to be back one day. The goal is to save a bunch of money and move back. Would you guys be able to provide some tips as to how I can make this transition easier for me over the long run (2-4 years)? I was thinking of doing some real estate work at my current bank (i.e. securitized products) or lateraling to another bank and doing more generalized FIG and maybe some TMT / asset manager deals. Will someone with my skillset be attractive enough to make $150-200K CAD in the Canadian market in a couple of years?

While the long/short fund is very reputable, I think I would be further pigeonholing myself a bit and want to keep some generalness. The job is also not in NYC which further kills some optionality and comes with a long garden leave and vesting schedule. lots to learn but would probably limit my options even more.
