Warsaw, Poland → Toronto, Canada

When I first arrived in Toronto in early 2024, the North American financial system felt completely foreign. Back home, investment options were limited and the market dynamics were entirely different. lumivexandor's international student program didn't just teach me about Canadian markets—it helped me understand global financial principles.

What impressed me most was how the curriculum connected European and North American market behaviors. I learned to analyze currency fluctuations between the euro, zloty, and Canadian dollar, which became incredibly valuable for my family's cross-border investments.

Valencia, Spain → Vancouver, Canada

The transition from Spain's financial environment to Canada's was challenging, especially understanding the differences in retirement planning and tax-advantaged accounts. lumivexandor's program bridged that gap perfectly.

I particularly valued the practical workshops on RRSP vs. TFSA strategies, which don't exist in Spain's system. The instructors helped international students understand these concepts by comparing them to familiar European equivalents. By graduation in fall 2024, I felt confident navigating both personal and corporate finance in my new country.
