Canada Student Loans Program
The Canada Student Loans Program can help you finance your education. Whether you're studying part-time or full-time, you may be eligible for a loan.
The Government of Canada pays the interest on the loan while you are in school. If you've completed your studies and are having trouble repaying your loan, the Government of Canada has a number of options to make it easier, such as interest relief, debt reduction and tax credits on loan interest.
If you want more information, pick up a free copy of the booklet entitled Canada Student Loans program at the HRDC office nearest you. You can also visit the web site at www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/student_loans or call the Canada Student Loans toll-free number at 1 888 432-7377. |
