The next best option to help students cover their expenses while studying is a government student loan issued through their province of residence and the Government of Canada.
Government loans are easy to apply for online, take all study and living costs into account, and automatically link students to grants and bursaries that do not need to be repaid. When it comes time to repay your government student loan, the interest rate and payment options are very flexible and affordable compared to other types of lenders.
