Student loans for Canadian students are available for full-time and part-time study at designated schools, including Imperial. 

For an overview of the financial aid process for Canadian students, visit the Campus Access website.

When you apply for a loan, you are considered for funding by both the Provincial and Federal Government, meaning you only have to apply once for funding for the year.

Canadian Federal loans are processed via the National Student Loans Service Centre and provincial loans through the provincial governments and student aid branches.

Canadian taxpayers who are studying full-time for a degree are eligible to claim the appropriate percentage of tuition fees paid (subject to certain restrictions) as a tax credit.

The parent or guardian of the student is also eligible to claim the transferred portion of tuition fees allowed under the Canadian Income Tax Act. Further information is available on the Government of Canada's website.

Students are required to submit the Canadian Tax form tl11a-fill-11e to the Canadian Revenue Agency by 30 April of the following year.
