Canadian Student Loans: Canadian federal student loans have had 0% interest since April 2023. Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) is available for those with low income. Enter your monthly payment to see its impact on your annual take-home pay.

Canadian Student Loans

0% Interest: Since April 2023, the federal government eliminated interest on Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans. Most provincial loans still charge interest.

Standard Repayment: Fixed monthly payments over up to 10 years based on your loan balance, managed through the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC).

Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP): If your income is low, you can apply for RAP to cap your payments at an affordable level. After 15 years (or 10 years if disabled), remaining eligible balances are forgiven.
