Student Loans

Get help with your student loan  

We offer consultation on student loan issues and can assist with your applications for financial assistance.  

Full-Time Student Loans (Federal and Provincial)

Funding for your education for students with BC residence status may be available through StudentAid BC. Students from outside BC should contact the student loan ministry from their home province or territory.

Note: Deadline to submit loan applications is 6 weeks before your study program ends

Part-time Student loans 

Part-time students have the option to apply for financial assistance tailored to their needs. Unlike full-time students, part-time students undergo a different assessment process. The Part-Time Canada Student Loan can cover tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, and unsubsidized childcare expenses related to attending classes. However, it does not assist with living expenses 

Part-time loans are not available for students registered for Continuing and Community Education, English Language Training, or Adult Basic Education (Upgrading) courses. 

NOTE: Deadline to submit loan applications is 6 weeks from the end of the semester or course.
