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 keep getting these messages on my answering machine telling me that I need to call them regarding my student loan. The message always starts part way through the automated message (like the automated voice starts when the answering machine picks up and the machine only starts recording part way through) and they never say who they are trying to contact (there are two of us with student loans living here). I've looked at all the websites for BC and Canada Student Loans and cannot find the number they asked me to call. I'm worried that this is spam or someone hoping I will call back and give then my SIN. The number was 1-866-303-3503. I was wondering if anyone knew if this is legit or not. I haven't called back because something just feels fishy to me. Maybe I'm just being paranoid - help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is a pre-consolidation contact number for student loans...
