Student financial aid in Canada

Student loans in Canada are government-supported financial aid programs designed to help post-secondary students cover the costs of their education. The federal government funds the Canada Student Loan Program (CSLP), which works in collaboration with provinces and territories. Some provinces operate their own student loan programs, while others integrate with the CSLP for streamlined assistance. In addition to government-backed loans, Canadian banks offer commercial loans tailored for students in professional programs.
