Initiatives and Overview
Leveraging Québec's
pool of talent in finance
Cultivating talent
Finance Montréal works actively to make Québec an ever-more attractive place for talent from here and abroad.
As the university capital of Canada, Montréal is a place where students can learn about and pursue fulfilling careers in finance. The Montréal region has a wide network of universities, institutions and colleges. The quality of the programs of study and training offered make it one of the best cities for students in the country.
« Québec sets itself apart from the rest of Canada through its actions to promote financial professions and ensure the sustained growth of the industry. »
