A Guide for Newcomers to Canada and Aspiring Professionals in AML
For those who would like to learn more about joining the AML/Compliance space or are newcomers to Canada, here are some great connections to make:
Toronto Compliance & AML Enterprise (TCAE) - The TCAE is an amazing group to follow and be a part of. They have frequently have webinars on topical subjects, are geared towards newcomers and provide training courses. Everyone that I've met and spoken with at a TCAE event has been kind with sharing their knowledge, and I would highly recommend joining!
Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) - The ACFCS has a ton of great events throughout the year, especially the great webinars they host. Importantly, the ACFCS has local chapter events geared towards newcomers, that you can be a part of if you are a chapter member.
Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) - The ACAMS provides great networking opportunities, events, workshops, and training sessions. Joining the local ACAMS chapter can help newcomers build their professional network, contribute to their professional development, and gain exposure to potential job opportunities.
This is probably the question I get asked the most and I'm sure that many of you are looking for this information. A great place to start when you’re networking!
