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.

After meeting with my member of parliament and the offer to write a letter on my behalf requesting a review of my Nslc file I am looking for information about what the outcome can be.

The nscl admitted an error on my file that ultimately put it into collections in 2004. The Nslc recalled my loans in 2010 but this was before they admitted their error. When I started my appeal with the cslp I was told if an error was found, they would take my loan back to what it was the day the error happened and a payment schedule would made. Now that the error has been admitted, they won't do that.. I guess my question is what specifically can the minister review do?

The minister has the power to do whatever is necessary to fix the problems and their effects. If tyhe minister's review concludes that errors were made, and the effects of those errors have caused you further hardship, then the minister should address remedial action and place the onus on the NSLSC for correction.

Some of that post didn't make it...

If the minister's review concludes that the errors made, and hardship was caused by the effects of those errors, then the minister should be required to address the NSLSC to take remedial action. THe onus is on whoever made the errors to fix them.
