Thomas, you hit all the right points.
One other thing.
When starting out, if you have no other source of income from your household, I would highly suggest starting out by working under an established advisor. Preferably one that is 50+ and who will be retiring in the next 5 or so years.
Also, finding an advisor who deals with high and ultra high net worth individuals. Nothing worse than having someone who has $100,000 in an RRSP with you calling and yelling at you why their investments are down X%. (You only make roughly a percent, $1000, from their investments a year)
Cheers,
