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.

A collection agency named Collect Com in Markham Ontario has been calling for my brother's Canada Student Debt. They often call when he is not home (Early in the morning or Later in the evening)

I've taken down thier info several times and continue to tell them I do give it to him when he gets home but they talk to down to me calling me a liar and telling me I don't care about my brother's debt and how unfair it is of my brother to make them harrass me.

I am trying to get my brother to make a payment but I must have rights as the kin of the debtee, It's not my debt but this collection agency speaks to me like I am.

I live in Manitoba, but I've been unable to find anything about what I can do as the debtee's kin beyond bugging my brother to make a payment.

Thank you
