Featured Success Journey
Priya Chen - Singapore to Vancouver
Started our Financial Psychology Certificate
program in early 2024 as an international
student from Singapore. Within months of
completing her studies, Priya landed a
position as a Budget Analyst at a major
Canadian financial institution. She credits
our unique approach to understanding spending
behavior and psychological triggers for her
rapid career advancement. Now she's pursuing
her Advanced Budget Psychology specialization
while working full-time.
Marcus Okafor - Nigeria to Toronto
Completed our intensive 8-month program in
late 2024. Marcus came to Canada with a
background in economics but needed practical
skills in budget psychology. Our hands-on
approach to understanding financial behavior
patterns helped him secure an internship at a
leading consulting firm, which converted to a
full-time role within six months of
graduation.
Voices from Around the World
International students share their experiences building financial expertise and launching meaningful careers in Canada's dynamic economy.
Dmitri Volkov
Originally from Ukraine
The budget psychology curriculum opened my
eyes to how cultural differences affect
spending habits. Learning to analyze
financial behavior through a psychological
lens gave me skills that traditional finance
programs simply don't cover. The faculty
understood the unique challenges
international students face and provided
incredible support throughout the program.
Isabella Santos
Originally from Brazil
Coming from a different financial system, I
was nervous about adapting to Canadian
business practices. Thalorivenqa's program didn't
just teach theory - we worked on real case
studies and learned practical applications.
The international student support services
helped me navigate everything from work
permits to networking opportunities in
Montreal's financial district.
