Student Loans

Canadian Federal & Provincial Student Loans

The Canada Student Loans program is available to Canadians in all provinces and territories except Quebec, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, who run their own student assistance plans. This means that, in addition to a federal student loan, you may also be eligible for student loans or grants from the province or territory in which you live. While eligibility for federal and provincial loans is generally assessed using a single application form, these programs have somewhat different rules. For details on student financial assistance programs, see the provincial/territorial financial assistance office or access their website through the links listed below. Information on Canada Student Loans is available through the Canada Student Aid webpage.
