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.

Well I am so pissed off today that I could scream. HRSDC have been threatening me and sending me hate mail for how many years. So about one year ago I sent post dated cheques to them and never thought anything about getting a statement since the money was being taken out of my account I assumed it was getting there. It wasnt.
I had asked for a statement so many times from them assholes I stopped asking. So today I get another hate mail letter in the mail demanding payment.
So I get on the phone and I am right pissed off. I start cussing and swearing saying I have made payments for one year, not once have I received a statement.
Them **** tell me today that they have no record of my payments, and that I dont have any postdated cheques on file. I say bullsh*t they have enought until Dec. 2007. I am told they know nothing about it. Ok, so I ask where is my money going to. Uh the response I dont know. I said well I sent them to your office you better find out where they are going to.. She said go to your bank and ask for the back of each cheque, I say I am not paying $ 25 for each cheque. I said well I will just stop payment, and she says but then you wont be paying your loan, well give me a f**** break.
So I hang up all mad, then she calls me back and said that Revenue Canada has been keeping the cheques and cashing them just in case I ever have an overpayment with them. What the hell!!! SO I said I am stopping payment and they can kiss my ass. I hang up. CCRA calls me and says they will be sending all the payments back to the student loans dept. AHHHHH the place it should have gone to in the first place.......

I have seen this happen a few times.

Do you have an EI overpayment balance?

Hi Johnny

Yes I have a balance owing with them of $ 1,200.00.
But again, they were not taking the money off for this either.

But atleast I know where my hard earned money is going..
