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
Both my Wife and I had student loans. We decided to pay of as much as possible the student loans. To date we have paid mine off and 25% of my wife.  We will be having a baby and we tried to get RAP. Well we cannot.  We are only asking for RAP while my wife is on maternity leave but  since I will be working two jobs and with my wife's Unemployment insurance we are making too much. Once she goes back to work I will be working 3 pm to 11 pm  so that we do not have daycare cost.
 
The interesting thing is that if I have one job and student loans  then we could get help.
 I am gratefull that we able to get loans to help us with our schooling but now I would like some help to get through the first year with a new born.
