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.

The best way for me to make contact with the institutions is via email.  Royal Bank has been no problem and makes contact with me.  National Student Loans has also. However, I can't find an email address for Edulinx or CIBC. CIBC has emailed me in the past but I dont have a current address. 

Thanks for your help!  I just joined this group and have already read lots of helpful posts!

Written letters are usually the best form of proof, with signature on the letter and signature when mail recieved.  It's just common business practice and appears more formal. 

E-mails can be typed quickly, whereas a properly typed and printed letter will take more time, hence why they are taken more seriously than an e-mail. 
"A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven." - Jean Chretien
