I've been paying my Canada Student loan 5 yrs but still have 6K left. Is there a way to pay less of it?
I've been paying my Canada Student loan 5 yrs but still have 6K left. Is there a way to pay less of it?
I'm curious if there's a debt relief program, where a part of my student loan may be forgiven or waived. I've been diligently paying my loan at a rate of 100 dollars per month.

Welcome to my world. the average student loan for a Canadian student is 10 years of paying minimum payments based on a 30-40 thousand dollar loan. the interest kills, that is why they suggest to pay about 10 to 20 dollars more then the minimum requirement. it kills the interest faster and you hit prinicple faster. I started that about 2 years ago and now I have takin a year off already and have been paying it faster. If you want to pay less on the loan you can contact the national student loan centre and they will evaluate your earnings compared to what you owe and currently pay them and if they feel that you qualify for a decrease in monthly payments they will grant an decrease or what they call a 6 month grace period on repayment where they allow you to have 6 months interest free no repayment. some sites include www.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/student_loans www.aved.gov.bc.ca/studentservices

I know that some places you need to be a citizen of Canada to work because they require proof of citizenship and your Canadian social insurance number but you could try applying for a student work permit.. as for salary --> the minimum wage depends on what province you are planning on working in..the wages very from at least $8.00 - $10.00.. and the working limit would probably just be generally 40 hours.. after that you get into over-time hours and most employers don't allow you to go over because they have to pay you time and a half... but here's the Canadian Government site that should help you out, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work.asp hope i was some help! good luck!

Any international issue or law in Canada, is the same in every "province".You can study and get a "work permit" just whenever you get accepted into the university or college and you start your studying, the government of Canada needs from you a transcript from your previous semester(s) based on what you studied in Canada. Then you can apply part time job easily. you will wait to for an answer for like 1 and half months max. Edit: Salaries are only 9 max per hour. good luck

How much in tax returns will I be roughly getting back as a working university student in Canada?
How much in tax returns will I be roughly getting back as a working university student in Canada?
I'm an alberta resident filing my income tax for the first time at 20 yrs old. I've worked part time since I was 14 and even currently in university. I'm also receiving student loans. I was just wondering what is a good estimate of how much I should be getting back for tax returns.

Assuming you're not making a lot of money (under 20k) with the credits you've mentioned I would assume you would get back all the tax withheld by your employer (or the amount in box 22 on your t4).

When you student visa runs out you have to leave the country, you can apply to return to Canada via the standard immigration application, just because you studied in Canada does not mean you can stay in Canada or will be accepted into Canada as a permanent resident
2 :
You cannot change the type of visa you have without returning home first.

Can I work with a student visa in Canada?
Can I work with a student visa in Canada?
I'm hoping to go to a university in Canada one day and I'm an American. I'm completely financially independent, working slightly above minimum wage, so there's no way for me to save up enough money to sustain living in Canada without a job. If I'm on a student visa, will I be able to apply for a job in Canada?

I really don't know. But I had a problem at customs once when I was doing a trade-show and they said I had to have a work permit to enter the country. It was a real hassle. They might require you to have that. Ask the Canadian government.
2 :
www.cic.gc.ca is the immigration website and you can probably find your answer there. My guess is that, on a student visa, you can't work except for something like student teaching through the university.
3 :
Yes, you can work while on a student visa. However, it is not quite as simple as finding a job and starting work. In order to work off-campus, you need to be a full-time student that has studied in Canada for at least one year and you must apply for a work permit through the CIC. If your application is approved, you are only eligible to work up to 20 hours per week while school is in session (and full-time during breaks and the summer). There is a $150 fee to apply for the work permit. You will also need to get a Social Insurance Number (SIN), the Canadian equivalent of an SSN, to be able to work. Check out this FAQ for more details: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/study/index.asp You can also work on-campus without a work permit.
