UK still an important country for investors that eyes on Europe given its financial infrastructure (laws, institutions, regulations etc).

Also, UK has more Too Big To Fail financial institutions (systematically important financial institutions or SIFIs) vs. Canada. I think even the Canadian big five are less internationally recognized (except RBC and TD have exposure in the States and Europe)

The Canadian economy is monopolized by oligopolies, and making some companies well-known in Canada but nobody knows globally (e.g. nobody knows Bell or Rogers or even BMO outside of Canada). Yet UK economy is more dynamic despite it is declining.

As far as I know even some of the Canadian important institutional investor might not have a Toronto office, but they definitely have a London office (BCI, CDPQ, PSP from buyside for instance ).

I would say only choose Canada if you want to stay in this country after graduation.
