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.

Well unfortunately I am in a proposal.  I had a CSL which I had paid in full but I was struggling trying to pay my Ont SL and my Canada SL.

As I said I paid my Canada SL and had to do a proposal for my Ontario student Loan because thats all the debt I had.  I am down to under 4,000 and still paying but as a single parent with an ex who is self employed and has not paid child support in 7 years I did not have a choice.  I work full time but as I said a single parent,daycare etc..

I have thought about bankrupting but I am kind of obligated now under the proposal and I was told by 3 different trustee's that because the student loan was my only debt it was not an option or a reasonable one

ANY HELP????
