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 upcoming 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 can't plan. I've heard of courses being cut because the government has no process in place for universities to send the newly required acceptance letters to the government.

This means that students who have been accepted can not attend courses that start in the summer 2024 semester. With cut sections, current Canadian students will have trouble getting courses, and may have to switch to part-time which changes their enrollment status and might trigger repayment of their loans or ineligibility for funding. I've seen this before. It wreaks havoc on the student loan borrowers.

Again, the Liberal government has messed up the education environment. Will the new system needed in a rush for the acceptance letters be the new Arrivecan scandal?

I call on the government to implement a slower phased in approach and delay the requirement of the acceptance letters until a process is in place to submit these letters.

I only heard a few rantings from a accountant in a late night dinner but from what he said it seems that under the new laws Third Party Collections will not be able to function at all?  Can someone fill in the blanks for me?

I think that no gov. agency is allowed to release any
personal info to anybody unless that person
consents to it in WRITTING!
So the CA's should'nt be able to get bank info
addresses or the such until you sign a paper
allowing the release of that info. That is what I have
read. Thanks to the terrorists I guess.

yeah what this guy said was that the new privacy laws are SO INSANE  that technically no one can do there job anymore. Not even accountants because anytime anyone gives your personal information out to anyone without your expressed/written contest it is illegal as third party disclosure!!!!   However the new laws are so freakin crazy that no one is changing anything because it just ridiculous.. They are going to wait for lawsuits and see what happens as a result of the law suites.  I never made the connection with terrorism..
