My brother is a Canadian citizen living and working in a, let's say, second-world country. The main drawback is the lack of good and safe investment options due to the undeveloped banking and investment system. So, just like most of the people there, he doesn't invest, and lives a happy consumer lifestyle, relying on the promised-in-the-future pension. It just recently dawned on me that, as a Canadian citizen, he should have access to the Canadian banking system. I would like to pitch the idea of saving and investing for retirement to him. Does anyone know where he could open an account, or how I would go about finding information on that? I'd like to do the preliminary legwork rather than letting him do it all, because there's a risk that nothing would get done. If I present some solutions with my pitch, then there's hope.
