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.

Hello, so i did one of those short programs through a private college back in 2003, it was funded by OSAP, i graduated in 2004, my loan was paid off by late 2006 and i got confirmation from student loans that my loan was all paid, have a happy life blah blah lol. For the last 10+ years anytime i did my taxes they kept them and i never thought much about it except that i owed them from the year maybe?? Recently I found out that they think i still owe them thousands of dollars for my student loan, and i have NO WAY to now prove that they (or some government agency) sent me a finale invoice/letter that said it was all paid off. That was over ten years ago, i dont have those letters anymore, i keep documents for 7 years then shred them, so i have no proof of it. Is there anything i can do at this point? Anyone i can call?? I just dont know what to do, any advice is much appreciated, thank you
