CFA + LLM (specialization in financial law)

Hello All,

Hope you are doing well!

I am a finance professional with a Bachelors in Business Administration degree and CFA charterholder. In order to progress further in my career and expand my skill set, I am looking to do LLM with a specialization in Banking and Finance.

I am based out of Pakistan and I have to eventually move to Canada in next two years. I am considering a distance learning program of LLM with specialization in Banking and Finance from University of London. I need some insight regarding how does the English law vary from Canadian laws specifically related to Banking and Finance. Is there a lot of variation between the two such that 2 years later when I enter Canada this degree and legal knowledge will not have much application? I am not going for Canadian law schools because the cost is too high for international students.

Secondly, any idea regarding what positions CFA+LLM has in the canadian job market? Is it applicable enough or going for LLM is just a waste of money? The courses that I am looking are:

Law of International Finance : Syndicated Loans Derivatives Law Corporate Finance and management issues in company law Corporate Governance and Compliance Law of International Project Finance Securities Law

Thanks in advance.
