Some questions about Canada’s postgraduate actuarial major!

1. For a master’s degree, the University of Waterloo should be the best, and the University of Toronto should be the best for actuarial science employment because it is located in Toronto!

2. That depends on the accreditation agreement between the school and the Society of Actuaries! Different school courses have different certification subjects. As far as I know, the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo are certified by the North American Actuaries! At worst, master's degrees are exempted from the associate actuary's courses. Many actuarial courses require practical experience, and they will definitely require exams!

3. Actuary is indeed a good career, but I personally think it is better to switch to a master's degree in financial mathematics (financial engineering)!

The system of the Commonwealth is different from that of North American actuaries, you know!

Acctuaries are well paid and have a high status, but you know that the profits from financial derivatives may be greater, and of course the difficulty will be higher. It’s up to you!

Beijing Normal University is a famous school, and mathematics is a very good major. You can choose a school in the United States or the United Kingdom, and you should choose a school in a good location. Toronto, Canada is not bad, New York, Chicago, Boston, California, etc. London schools are not bad at finding jobs!

I said yes, location, which determines your employment!
