Arc GIS Map

Good day,

We are using ArcGIS to put points over a choropleth map.  We have our property addresses as points, and socioeconomic data that populates the Canadian FSA boundary layer underneath.  Except our boundary layer doesn't allow us to colour-code the FSA polygons based on socioeconomic data while we have points on the map. 

Either we have to have coloured FSA polygons...

or points...

But not both together.  

Every example map I've seen where points are layered overtop coloured polygons is American.  Is this feature only available for American polygon layers, or can it work for other countries as well?
