Jussi, I would suggest you write the LLQP (Insurance Exam) and talk to another independant firm.  There are several firms who would be happy to take on an eager young broker/advisor/agent, but perhaps giving a slightly lower payout initially. 

  The reason I say this is because I don't see why you would want to be drumming up business for another broker.  If you want to be successful, Man up.  Get the LLQP under your belt.  Go to a solid independent shop.  You can learn very quicky when you're thrown into the business.    Back when I entered the business, I had just finished University and spent the following months obtaining the CSC, CPH, and LLQP..  Then I was fortunate enough to join an independant firm which had an older advisor who just sold his partnership in the firm.  He stuck around for a while, assisting in the operations of the firm, and was able to dedicate some time to sit down and assist me with any prospects/clients I aquired in the first few months.  The mutual fund dealer and insurance company will most likely put you under a 3 month "Training Period" where all transactions you make will be monitored by your branch manager.  Start building a book now for YOURSELF, not another broker.  The CSC and LLQP will give you enough education to begin working with the "small fish".  When I started, mutual funds earned me a net of 3% and a Segregated Fund earned me 4%.  Therefore, a $100k Seg Fund in an RRSP would net me $4000.  Not a very difficult way to start a career.  You have to start thinking like a professional.  If you want to be stockbroker, financial planner, advisor, investment rep, whatever, BE ONE.  If you want to be on the phone all day, earning business for someone else:  Join a telemarketing company, they'll pay you 2x what a broker will anyway.
