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.

So im stuck in Limbo.
I live in Montreal, Qc. I applied at Algonquin College for the Police Foundations Course (I didn't get into the one in Montreal). I applied for a student loan with the lovely afae and got denied. When asking why, they responded with "we don't recognize you're program in the province of quebec"
Called canlearn.ca and they told me i am eligible for the Federal portion of the money and they just have to re asses my application and i could get it but the lovely people at the Afae REFUSE to help me and do it.
You'd think trying to become a police officer in Canada you would get some help.

(Yes i applied for a bank loan and need a cosigner, sadly i've been on my own since i was 16 and don't have someone to do that for me)

Any ideas would be great

Hi starscream2786
I was also denied by AFAE because they did not recognized my program. Can you tell me how to apply to canlearn.ca? Because I called them and they said they are not the one who administered the federal portion. Because when you apply in provincial loan it was included so I don't know who to call. Please help me. Thank you
