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.

I want to move home to Canada--have been away and in a situation where I barely have enough to feed my family let alone pay student loans so I am about six months behind in payments.  I would like to move home again, if my payments go into collectors hands what will they try to do while I am abroad and if I do return will I be flagged when i come in thru customs returning to Canada,..
 
Thanks

Owing a student loan is not a criminal act, friend. No stress. If customs had issues with unpaid student loans our borders would be closed.
 
If you owe the government of Canada they will pursue you for as long as they can. If you can;t pay them anything then it is best to demonstrate it and not fear them. If you want help with that, Heather is the girl to speak with at CFWG.

Our charter of rights allow us to come and go .... you wont be stopped at the border because of your loan. If you are back in Canada, you will be eligible for the RAP program as long as your loans arent in default  but even that can be rehabilitated.
