I am looking for information regarding the maximum income levels to qualify for a

Canada Student Loan reduction.  I have found Ontario tables (and the maximum income levels are pitiful).
 
I have (finally) a well-paying job but i am not making much progress into my debt (I just received my annual statement-- i paid over 6000 dollars last year and more than half of that was in interest!).  At this rate it will take me ~18 more years to pay off this damn thing.
 
I  have been out of school for almost 10 years which also means that bankruptcy is a possible option (18 more years of bulls.. after i have been paying for 8 years is unbearable). Funny thing is that i will almost be retiring by the time this loan is paidDead
 
Any information would be helpful

Hey debtor,

click on "maximum income guidelines" - wow! that's something...the table is actually posted online and it's easy to find...probably cost the gov't millions to come up with that idea.
 
I'll have paid $75,000 in interest when I hit retirement age (if I keep paying it) - but anything can happen I guess.  That'll teach me for "going back to school" LOL
