Dear write IELTS and try to get a score of 8777. ( 8 for listening )What is your level of education? Bachelor's or Masters? Do your ECA mean while. Then go to any agency. Meeting CRS and hence by getting an ITA is important.

Banking jobs are extremely competitive to get. Currently banks are under a hiring freeze. Designations like being a CFA will certainly help as well as experience working in a well known large well known financial institution. A business degree from a Canadian university or a well known top international university can help. Canada is a very small market and there are a large number of people wanting to work in banking already in Canada, people immigrating from large banking hubs like HK and the UK due to instability, people immigrating with international banking experience from well known institutions and Canadians who have been working in finance abroad returning to Canada. If you have a good job in India with prospects of being promoted you need to consider whether it makes sense to immigrate and what you are expecting by moving to Canada. You are likely to receive better opportunities at home or in other international locations. Job experience as a teller isn't likely to help secure finance jobs and your international experience may be mostly disregarded. It will be very dependent on where you studied, where you worked and your role.

Yes I have double master MA and MBA
Once you have PR and are in Canada, apply for banking jobs directly through the websites of the big five banks (not through job bank).

Good luck.

That is a very wide rang of roles. That does sound like more of a community banking role. As long as you are realistic and realize that getting a banking job is going to be quite difficult and you would be happy working in other jobs then you should consider immigrating to Canada. You will be competing with many immigrants who have experience working in the well known financial institutions in the international banking hubs plus those already in Canadians. There are only so many jobs to go around and given the economy there won't be a lot of hiring for a while. It also depends on why you are moving to Canada.
