Bill C-301

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
October 26, 2022
An Act to amend the Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, the Canada Student Loans Act and the Apprentice Loans Act (interest on student loans)
  • Bill C-301 aims to amend three existing acts related to student loans and apprentice loans in Canada. The amendment proposes eliminating the requirement to pay interest on these loans. This means that students and apprentices will no longer have to pay any interest on their loans, potentially reducing the overall cost of their education and training. The bill also includes provisions for deferred payment for full-time and part-time students. Overall, the goal of this bill is to make higher education and apprenticeship more affordable and accessible for young Canadians.
