Lavanya Bhardwaj– Winter 2022

ICM has always been like a home away from home. I've met some wonderful people at ICM that I'm still in touch with and the entire journey has been nothing but beautiful. It has provided me with a comfortable niche to grow and explore my potential as an individual while learning how to smoothly transition as an International Student. My favorite memory at ICM was definitely my time as a Peer Advising Manager. I think I've learned a lot of things during my terms as a Manager and have made connections that I will forever cherish. The position came with its own set of challenges but I feel like when I look back at it now, it left me with a lot of things I never realized I could manage or work on.

Nabeel Fakhur– Winter 2012

Coming from a very sheltered household, and a remote village, I grew up with limited resources. Life presented significant challenges after moving to Canada just like everyone else, but I never gave up. ICM gave me a start, a sweet start needed to begin my new life in Canada. What I like the most about ICM were the people from different counties, continents, students were warm, we laughed, danced, supported each other.

Tinashe Mutamangira – Summer 2019

As a Peer Educator and member of the ICM Student Council, I recognized the financial challenges many international students face, particularly during the pandemic. This realization led to the creation of InTuitionPay, a platform that helps international students pay tuition fees using local currencies and payment methods, making education more accessible globally. Starting InTuitionPay was challenging, but ICM provided the ideal environment to understand my market and meet the right people. Courses in engineering, business, and economics helped me bridge the knowledge gap, and with the support of my talented co-founders, we brought the idea to life despite the difficulties of being an international student and entrepreneur during a global pandemic. InTuitionPay is now operational in five countries and has been recognized as a top fintech startup in Canada. I have been honored by Next Canada and was a winner at the Stu Clark New Venture Championships in 2023. My journey is a testament to resilience, community, and the pursuit of dreams, and I hope it inspires others to believe in their potential and strive for their goals. As an international student from Zimbabwe who embarked on a transformative journey through the ICM pathway. ICM introduced me to the Canadian way of life and redefined my understanding of education beyond just earning a degree. I quickly realized the importance of exploring my strengths and helping other international students do the same.

Irin Anika – Summer 2015

I started my journey with ICM back in 2016 and I have graduated from the UofM in May 2021. I remember when I originally started at ICM, I wanted to pursue my degree from sciences. However, after taking some business courses and meeting with the professors, they helped me to identify what I really want to do in the long term. Thanks to ICM for having a smaller class room which helped us to connect with the professors and students very closely. Currently, I am working at RBC as a Banking Advisor and I am so grateful for what I have achieved so far. ICM has opened the door for me to reach at my ultimate goal. ICM advisors supported me throughout my journey.
