4 Personal finance tips for international students
Rounding it up
Just because you’re an international student doesn’t mean you can’t secure a loan or scholarship; make sure to look into all your options.
Consider getting a Canadian credit card to help pay for the costs of living and opening a savings account to build a rainy day fund.
You may need to get a side-gig to pay for your student expenses.
Of course, stay on top of your budgeting to forge a successful financial future during and beyond your student years.
