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,

I'm in a Private-Career College, and, I misread OSAP; therefore, it didn't give me enough money for all the tuition.  The VP agreed to give me a promissory note for payments after I'm finished.  So, after 4 months OSAP FINALLY gives me some money, and I want to take my A+ Certification.  So, I asked the VP since we know OSAP will be giving me money right now, can I take my test?  His advice was to pay cash (approximately $264 USD) and he'll take it off the promissory note.  His logic is that the Cert. isn't needed to pass my college, so it's not really needed.  I don't have the money.  So, since I'm not getting my full tuition can he tell me I can't take it with the tuition I have?  Or can I tell him that he has no legal grounds to do that?

P.S: The Cert. money is in my tuition.
