Applying for Student Loans
Even if you’ve saved from your summer job and have some form of financial support, you may still need to borrow to fund your post-secondary education. There are various types of student loans available through federal, provincial and territorial governments as well as private institutions such as banks, trust companies and credit unions.
Canadian Government Student Loans
Canadian federal and provincial student loan programs were created to supplement the financial resources of students and their families and make post-secondary education accessible to as many Canadians as possible. View more information on Canadian government student loans.

Bank and Private Loans
If you don’t qualify for a government student loan, many banks offer student lines of credit and student bank loans. A line of credit gives you access to an agreed-upon amount of money which you can withdraw as you need it. Interest is paid only on the money you withdraw.
