Canadian Student Loans

0% Interest: Since April 2023, the federal government eliminated interest on Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans. Most provincial loans still charge interest.

Standard Repayment: Fixed monthly payments over up to 10 years based on your loan balance, managed through the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC).

Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP): If your income is low, you can apply for RAP to cap your payments at an affordable level. After 15 years (or 10 years if disabled), remaining eligible balances are forgiven.
