This website is a testimony to the problems Canadian Student Loan borrowers experienced from approximately 1996 to 2008 and until their loans were paid off.

The privatization of the Student Loans system by the Chretien and Martin Liberal governments broke the system and defaulted thousands of borrowers who were trying to pay their loans. There were even stories of suicide due to the harassment of borrowers.

Read the report that I prepared back in 2007 here. Canada Student Loans-The Need for Change Fortunately the new Conservative government at the time revamped the program and fixed the system for new borrowers, but borrowers under the previous program were left with ruined credit and continued harassment from debt collectors.

I call on the Canadian Government to apologize to the borrowers affected by this fiasco and make amends.

Unfortunately the Liberal government is again clobbering the Education system with their upcoming changes to International Student Visas. Yes, there's a problem, but instead of a well thought out plan, they have pulled the emergency brake on the train causing a derailment. This has introduced unprecedented instability for both private and public education institutions who serve both international and local students.

Universities can't plan. I've heard of courses being cut because the government has no process in place for universities to send the newly required acceptance letters to the government.

This means that students who have been accepted can not attend courses that start in the summer 2024 semester. With cut sections, current Canadian students will have trouble getting courses, and may have to switch to part-time which changes their enrollment status and might trigger repayment of their loans or ineligibility for funding. I've seen this before. It wreaks havoc on the student loan borrowers.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment. Will the new system needed in a rush for the acceptance letters be the new Arrivecan scandal?

I call on the government to implement a slower phased in approach and delay the requirement of the acceptance letters until a process is in place to submit these letters.

They are not wealthy & I feel bad b/c they were supposed to be able to enjoy their retirement but I feel as if i've taken that away from them........

I tell u those ppl that work in NSLSC r retards!!!!!!! To date, I've faxed that stupid letter & the void check to them 4 times!!!!! They tell u to keep phoning them 24-48 to check to see if they have received your fax.......& when they finally do receive it they do a sh*tty job or recording information.....all they tell u is that they have received it but they dont tell u if ur missing any information....they a week later someone else from another department will phone u up n tell u that ur missing info n then u have to fax things in again...what a pain......

so it takes them a week to figure out that my fax was missing information....n they had to send it from department to department...talk about incompetence...couldnt the first person that looked @ the fax see that there was missing info???? even after they received the all the info it still takes them a week to process ......how inefficient can they get?   in the meanwhile u r paying every single one of these idiots w/ ur interest to mess ur life up......what pain we put ourselves through.....


the thing that gets me the most is the first guy to whom i spoke to did not inform me about the preauthorized payment form (or sthg close to it) .....in the end i had to go to the bank to get that stupid form b/c they couldnt see the faxed void cheque.....isnt this stupid? I have a feeling they planned this from the beginning just to get more money out of everyone...is it me or what??????  TD wouldnt even help me fax the stupid form.....i had to find someone who had a fax machine to help me fax it............

anyhow thx for all the support & advice here :D

sorry about the abbreviations & for being off topic ppl....

I was almost going to fax them 25 times/day until they "got it". Lucky for them they got the 2nd one I sent, although a week after I sent it. Now if they ask for a fax of something I'm going to send them multiples just so they don't miss it. Maybe I'm just bitter....
Did I mention I'm a Drama Queen?
