Building a Network in Canada from Scratch

Why I think I can be of help? I bagged a full-time job in Investments at a Pension Fund in Canada in <2 months of landing here. I had no previous Canadian experience at the time and it was not the easiest task. But a sound strategy, solid knowledge base, grit & determination, and of course some luck can make this your story too! :)
