I was always fascinated by the thought of studying abroad. When i got a chance i could not resist myself from not taking that opportunity. The thing i like is the diverse environment. I was able to connect with students from all over the world and i could share my ideas, thoughts, experience and a study environment. trust me the feeling is amazing when you sit with a bunch of students from all over the world. Lastly, financial planning is a dream career because Finance is one of the most emerging sectors in Canada. People there hardly save money for future. So financial planners and advisors come to rescue by teaching people the importance of saving money.

The course curriculum is very advanced. The syllabus is updated every year because of the changes in the maximum limit of saving tax free and other factors.

Faculty
The class size was about 30 students. It was neither too big nor too small. The faculty on the other hand was well versed and easily approachable. The students could send them any queries anytime and they would respond to their earliest. The students could meet the faculty anytime during the college hours. I remember we had Michael as one of our professors. He was one of the most outstanding faculty member of our college and he would go out of his way to make students feel comfortable. His teaching skills and his ideology was at par
Hostel
No, I stayed off campus. The cost of living can be somewhere around $700-900 per month.
