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 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 have been forced to cancel programs and layoff hundreds if not thousands of full-time and contract instructors.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment.

Dear Student Loan Borrowers,

The Coalition for Student Loan Fairness does not have enough contact names to satisfy all of the media requests coming in these days.

So, we are asking that you please email us with your contact information, so that reporters can interview you for potential stories on our broken student loan program.  There will be many new reports on what the CSLP is up to in the coming days, but we need real people to illustrate the problems for the public.

Please email the Coalition at julianb@sfu.ca  with the following:

a/ your name
b/ city location
c/ whether or not you were a mature student (over 26) when you started school
d/ whether or not you did a revision of terms on your student loan
e/ have you applied for permanent disability benefit status

Look forward to hearing from you soon,

Best,
The Coalition for Student Loan Fairness
