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.

hi all, i am new and i have a question. I am dealing with tricura Canada for my canadian student loan, they are the wort people i have ever spoken to.
Anyways I am trying to get a mortgage and my broker has asked me to get a letter regarding the miss communication issues I have had with student loan. I had asked them to send me paper bills in the mail every month for 3 months and never received anything, then got a huge bill saying my credit was now a mess. I talked to 2 people and no one said they didn't do paper bills. then on may first I talked to someone who said they don't do them. well now my credit is screwed cuz they never bulled me. how do I get a note from these people stating there was issues were due to miscommunication and not because i just decided not to pay them? 
my account is currently up to date.

If this is an RAP application, call the National Student Loans Center and ask to speak to a member of the Case Management Team.  The only way to get results is to get the issue escalated.  Tricura is not likely to be very helpful.  They are a collection agency that was given the RAP program to manage.  Go figure!

Of course not, but I talked to 3 ppl and only the last one told me it wasn't possable to get paper bills. And waiting until your account is 2 months past due from the date the repayment assistant is up to even try calling. That, it really just wrong.
On top of that, they had my address written wrong for the first 5 months they had my account. Completely useless.
