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 recently received a discharge from bankruptcy, it has not been a year yet, and I have fallen ill so I have not really tried to re-apply for a job yet. Before that bankruptcy, I had a stable job as lecturer at a community college, and I have gotten in so much personal issues and have fallen into debt, hence the bankruptcy. That was my one and only job after college it was pretty fine until it went wrong, now I'm just concerned about discrimination and prejudices. I am almost afraid to go out and find out for myself. Can somebody give me an advice. Thank you in advance.

Since your discharge was so recent, your credit report would be in bad shape, and since you have been ill too, is it right to presume that you haven't yet taken any step to repair your credit yet?And I think that as long as you are honest with your future employers regarding your history, and that you are confident about your teaching competency, the bankruptcy should not be a problem for you.Also I read somewhere that it is against the law for employers to discriminate against someone who's filed bankruptcy.
