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.

As my loan situation is winding down I thought I'd post about my experience with John LeBlanc.  I first contacted John back in '05 or so because my loans were out of control (probably 45K or so).  I'd stopped answering my phone, I was afraid to check the mail, and it seemed like every time a relative called it was to say a collector had been calling them trying to find me.

I haven't had a collector call my house--not once--since I became a client.  A couple family members have had the odd call in the past 6 years as a new collection agency takes over one of my files, but they stopped once I told John about them.  I've only even received a half dozen or so letters since '05. 

Even if John hadn't helped me actually sort out my loans, stopping the calls and letters would almost have been worth it alone.  But he has sorted them out.  My problems are almost completely gone.

There've been times when I've gone months without speaking with him, and there were times I wondered if he was legit or not, but he's the real deal.  If you're in trouble with your loans, talk to John.  It changed my life.
