Introduction

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

The Canada Student Grants are upfront and students do not have to pay back this money. Loans must be repaid, beginning 6 months after students end their studies. The CSFA Program also offers the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) to 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 CSFA Program. Instead, they receive annual 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 covers the remaining 40%. The statistics provided in this review only report on federal financial assistance in participating provinces/territories.

Since its establishment in 1964, the CSFA Program has provided $68.7 billion in student loans to 6.6 million full-time and part-time students in Canada. And since grants were first introduced in 1995, it has provided $14.7 billion in grants to 3.8 million students.

About this report

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

The 2020 to 2021 Canada Student Financial Assistance Program Statistical Review provides detailed data on grants, loans, repayment assistance, and other program statistics (e.g. default rate, loan forgiveness). It also includes historical data, a breakdown by province/territory, and demographic information regarding key metrics. Most data is reported for the academic year (from August 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021); however, some data is reported on a fiscal year basis (from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021).

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.

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

Glossary

Academic year

August 1 to July 31.

Canada Apprentice Loans

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 the 2020 to 2021 academic year, CSGs are available for:

  • CSG for Full-Time Students: up to $750 per month of study ($6,000 for an 8-month study period)
  • CSG Skills Boost Top-up for adult learners from low- and middle-income families who have been out of high school for at least 10 years: top-up funding of $1,600 per academic year ($200 per month)
  • CSG for Full-Time Students with Dependants: up to $400 per month of study ($3,200 for an 8-month study period) for each dependant under 12 years of age (and for each dependant over 12 years of age with a permanent disability)
  • CSG for Students with Permanent Disabilities: $4,000 per academic year for full-time or part-time students with permanent disabilities
  • CSG for Services and Equipment for Students with Permanent Disabilities: up to $20,000 per academic year to cover exceptional education-related costs for full-time or part-time students with permanent disabilities
  • CSG for Part-Time Students: up to $3,600 per academic year depending on assessed need
  • CSG for Part-Time Students with Dependants: up to a maximum of $3,840

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 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 1 to March 31).

Consolidation

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

Default

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

Default rate

The CSFA Program measures default using a 3-year default rate. This rate shows the proportion of loan dollars that enter repayment in a given academic year and default within 3 years. For example, the 2018 to 2019 default rate represents the proportion of loan dollars that entered repayment in the 2018 to 2019 academic year and defaulted before August 1, 2021.

Designated

A designated PSE institution meets provincial and federal eligibility criteria. Students attending these schools can apply for government-sponsored SFA, 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 student

A full-time student is a student enrolled in:

  • 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 PSE institution

Gender diverse identities

This inclusive term can describe individuals who identify their gender beyond a binary perspective.

Integrated province

In integrated provinces, federal and provincial loans are combined so that borrowers receive and repay 1 federal and provincial integrated loan. The federal and provincial governments work together to make applying for, managing and repaying loans easier. The CSFA Program has integration agreements with 5 provinces: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador.

In-repayment status

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

In-study status

The status of borrowers attending full-time or part-time studies at a PSE institution.

In-study interest subsidy

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

National Student Loans Service Centre

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

  • New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador issued on or after August 1, 2000
  • Ontario and Saskatchewan issued on or after August 1, 2001, and
  • British Columbia issued on or after August 1, 2011

Part-time student

A part-time student is a student taking between 20% and 59% of a full course load. Students with permanent disabilities may be accorded part-time status if they are taking between 20% and 39% of a full course load. If they are taking between 40% and 59% of a full course load, for the purpose of the CSFA Program, they can choose to be a:

  • full-time student, or
  • part-time student

Participating provinces and territories

The provinces and territories that choose to deliver financial assistance to students within the framework of the CSFA Program include:

  • Newfoundland and Labrador
  • Prince Edward Island
  • Nova Scotia
  • New Brunswick
  • Ontario
  • Manitoba
  • Saskatchewan
  • Alberta
  • British Columbia
  • Yukon

Province or 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 prior to starting PSE. 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 would be considered a Manitoba student.

Post-secondary education

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

Repayment Assistance Plan

On August 1, 2009, the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) replaced the CSFA Program’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:

  • RAP Stage 1: The Government of Canada and the relevant provincial government pay the interest owing, that the borrower’s payment does not cover. This stage can last up to 10 6-month periods or 60 months during the 10-year period after a borrower leaves school
  • RAP Stage 2: This stage begins once the borrower completes Stage 1. If the borrower cannot meet their repayment obligations, the Government will cover both the principal and interest that exceeds the borrowers reduced monthly payments

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:

  • RAP-PD borrowers proceed directly to Stage 2 whereby the government covers the principal and interest not covered by the borrower’s monthly RAP payments
  • eligible RAP-PD borrowers can claim disability-related expenses; this is taken into consideration during RAP-PD application assessment

Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) First year uptake rate
