Summary of Loans for Full-Time Studies

If you contracted a loan for part-time studies, you will only be required to start repaying it six month after completing your part-time studies. The government will be responsible for repaying the interest on your student loan as long as you remain a part-time student. You will become responsible for the interest charges as of the month following the completion of your part-time studies. You may then choose to start making payments right away or postpone the repayment for six months. At the end of this six-month period, however, you will have to make an appointment with an authorized person of your financial institution in order to work out a repayment agreement. Under this agreement, you will commit to repaying the interest and principal on your student loan.

Please note that, if you decide to enroll in full-time studies after completing your part-time studies, you will not be required to repay your part-time studies loan until the completion of your full-time studies.

Under the section Summary of Loans for Part-Time Studies, there are two tables: “Exemption Periods” and “Loans”. They include the following information:

Exemption Periods

  • Transit Number

    Identification code of your financial institution.

  • Start of Full Exemption Period

    Start date of the period during which the interest on your student loan debt is paid by the government.

  • End of Full Exemption Period

    Date as of which you become responsible for the interest on your student loan debt. This marks the start of the partial exemption period. You are not yet required to start repaying the principal on your student loan, but you must start making interest payments.

  • End of Partial Exemption Period

    Date as of which you must start repaying the interest and principal on your student loans (i.e. six months after the completion of your part-time studies).

  • Confirmation

    If the note “Pending Confirmation” appears, this means that we are awaiting confirmation from your financial institution regarding student loans contracted at an earlier date.
