Introduction

The Government of Canada, through the Department of Employment and Social Development, delivers the Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP). This program helps students attend post-secondary education (PSE) and makes the education more affordable by providing students with Canada Student Grants and Loans.

The Canada Student Grants are upfront, students do not have to pay back this money. Loans are interest-free while students are in school and during the first 6 months after leaving school. Repayment on student loans starts 6 months after graduation. CSLP also offers the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) to those borrowers who have difficulty repaying their loans.

The Government of Canada works with provincial and territorial governments to deliver student financial assistance to Canadian students. Students in most provinces and the Yukon Territory use a single application to apply for both federal and provincial grants and loans. Quebec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories do not participate in the CSLP. Instead, they receive alternative payments from the Government of Canada to operate their own student financial assistance programs.

The Government of Canada funds about 60% of a full-time student’s financial need. The province or territory cover the remaining 40%. The statistics provided in this review only report on federal financial assistance in participating regions.

Since the establishment of the CSLP in 1964, the program has provided a total of $57.4 billion in student loans to 6.0 million students in Canada. Starting in 1995, the program has offered grants. As of July 2018, it provided $8.3 billion in grants to 3.3 million students.

About this report

Each year, Employment and Social Development Canada produces the Canada Student Loans Program Statistical Review. The Statistical Review is a supplementary report to the Canada Student Loans Program Annual Report. The Annual Report informs Parliament and Canadians about student financial assistance for PSE through the CSLP.

The 2017 to 2018 CSLP Statistical Review provides data for the loan year from August 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018, with the exception of a few tables which provide data for the fiscal year from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018. This review provides tables on grants, loans, repayment assistance and other program statistics. Most tables include data going back 5 loan years. Some tables also provide historical data dating back to the beginning of the CSLP.

For accessibility reasons, all tables in the web format of this report have been simplified. Consult the PDF version for the full tables.

Tables may contain suppressed cells to ensure confidentiality. In addition, some figures may not add-up to the summary total due to rounding. Unless otherwise specified, tables include data for full- and part-time students.

Glossary

Canada Apprentice Loans (CAL)

In January 2015, the Government launched the CAL initiative. Borrowers can apply for up to $4,000 in loans per period of technical training, for up to 5 technical training periods. Loans are available to help pay for tuition, tools, equipment and living expenses, to cover forgone wages and to help support family during training.

Canada Student Grants

Canada Student Grants (CSG) are non-repayable student financial assistance. In LY 2017 to 2018, CSG are available for:

Canada Student Loan Forgiveness for Family Doctors and Nurses

Family doctors, residents in family medicine, nurse practitioners, and nurses that practice in under-served rural or remote communities may be eligible to have some of their Canada Student Loans (CSL) forgiven. Family doctors and residents in family medicine may receive up to $8,000 per year and all nurses may receive up to $4,000 per year. The program operates on a fiscal year basis (April 1st to March 31st).

Consolidation

Borrowers consolidate their student loan(s) 6 months after completing their post-secondary studies (or ending full-time studies). Repayment begins once they have consolidated their loans.

Default

A loan is in default when it is in arrears for greater than 270 days under the direct lending regime.

Default rate

The CSLP measures default using a 3 year cohort default rate. This rate is defined as the percentage of loan dollars that enter repayment in a given loan year (cohort) and default within 3 years. For example, the 3 year default rate for the LY 2016 to 2017 cohort represents the proportion of loan dollars that entered repayment in LY 2016 to 2017 and defaulted before August 1, 2019.

Designated

A designated post-secondary educational institution meets provincial and federal eligibility criteria. Students attending these schools can apply for government-sponsored student financial assistance, such as Canada Student Loans.

Direct loans

As of August 2000, the Federal Government issues Canada Student Loans under the direct loans regime. The Government directly finances the loans, and a third-party service provider administers the loan process.

Fiscal year

April 1 to March 31.

Full-time

A full-time student is a student enrolled with at least a 60% course load (or 40% for students with permanent disabilities) in a program of study for at least 12 consecutive weeks, at a designated post-secondary educational institution.

Guaranteed loans

Until 1995, financial institutions such as banks provided Canada Student Loans under the guaranteed loans regime. If a student defaulted on a guaranteed loan, the Government paid out the bank. In this case, the student owed their debt directly to the Government.

Integrated province

In integrated provinces, borrowers receive and repay one federal-provincial integrated loan. The federal and provincial governments work together to make applying for, managing and repaying loans easier. The CSLP has integration agreements with 5 provinces: Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

In-study

The status of borrowers attending full-time or part-time studies at a post-secondary educational institution.

In-study interest subsidy

This is the Canada Student Loan interest covered by the Government of Canada during the post-secondary study period.

Loan year

August 1 to July 31.

National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC)

The NSLSC is the main point of contact for borrowers in managing their Canada Student loans, from loan disbursement to repayment and repayment assistance. A third-party service provider administers the service centre. The service centre manages all Canada Student Loans issued on or after August 1, 2000, as well as integrated student loans for:

Part-time

A part-time student is a student taking between 20% and 59% of a full course load. Students with permanent disabilities are part-time if they are taking between 20% and 39% of a full course load. If these students are taking between 40% and 59% of a full course load, they can choose to be a full- or part-time student for the purpose of the CSLP.

Participating provinces/territories

The provinces and territories that choose to deliver financial assistance to students within the framework of the CSLP include Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and Yukon.

Province/territory of residence

A student’s province or territory of residence is the province or territory where they have most recently lived for at least 12 consecutive months. This does not include time spent in a province or territory as a full-time student at a post-secondary institution. For example, an individual from Manitoba studying in Ontario resides in Manitoba.

Post-secondary education

Levels of education following secondary school (high school) at all designated public or private post-secondary institutions.

Repayment

The status of borrowers who have begun repaying their Canada Student Loans. Repayment begins 6 months following the end of studies.

Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP)

On August 1, 2009, the RAP replaced the CSLP’s previous debt management programs (Interest Relief and Debt Reduction in Repayment). RAP is a temporary repayment assistance measure where a borrower repays an affordable monthly amount. Eligible borrowers make either a reduced (affordable) or zero payment, based on family income and family size. RAP ensures that the repayment period will not exceed 15 years (or 10 years for a borrower with a permanent disability). Under RAP, eligible borrowers receive RAP for periods of 6 months and can reapply as long as they remain eligible. RAP has 2 stages:

Repayment Assistance Plan for Borrowers with a Permanent Disability (RAP-PD)

RAP-PD assists borrowers experiencing difficulty meeting their repayment obligations. RAP-PD provides accelerated repayment assistance that considers the additional living costs faced by people with permanent disabilities. RAP-PD recipients can obtain the following benefits:

Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) First Year Uptake Rate

The first year RAP uptake rate is the ratio of the number of full-time students who entered repayment and used RAP in the same year to the total number of full-time students who entered repayment during the year.

Risk-shared loans

Between 1995 and 2000, financial institutions such as banks provided Canada Student Loans under this regime. Here, financial institutions assumed responsibility for some of the risk of defaulted loans, in return for a payment from the Government.

Severe Permanent Disability Benefit

In certain cases, some borrowers may be eligible for loan cancellation. This benefit allows the cancellation of repayment obligations for those with permanent disabilities. Beneficiaries are those whose permanent disability, expected to remain with them for life, prevents them from studying at a post-secondary level and taking part in the labour force.

Student financial assistance

Student financial assistance is any form of financial aid provided by the Canada Student Loans Program to students while they enroll in designated post-secondary education institutions. Assistance includes Canada Student Grants, Canada Student Loans and in-study interest subsidy.
