Noob alert (sorry)
Just wondering, with an honours economics degree from Canadian target (note recruiters only come to finance kids not econ), if I am not lucky enough to get into IB, am I correct to assume that I can basically try to get into anything in finance (Assuming a ~3 cGPA and a {hopefully} > 3.5 econ GPA).
And if stuff doesnt work out, options are:
1. CFA --> equity research
OR 2. MBA finance / MSF -->IB, VC, corp finance (worst case scenario)

Why not do a double major in finance? Work hard and pull up your GPA and get full access to recruiters. I assume you have to take only a few more classes maybe put you in for an extra semester and maybe a summer?
MSF might be a better option depending how long the program is. What year are you?
McGill, School policy doesn't let me (B-faculty stands very different from arts and sci. / Would be too many credits)
