Do you have student loans? The National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) is here to help you. Essentially, you can think of the NSLSC as the ‘banker’ for your loans.
Difficulty repaying your Loan? The Repayment Assistant Program can help! The Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) helps you manage your Canada-B.C. integrated student loan debt by letting you pay back what you can afford.
If you are having trouble making your monthly student loan payments, RAP can help. When you apply for RAP, we calculate an affordable monthly payment based on how much money you make and the size of your family. While on RAP, you may qualify for reduced payments of no more than 10% of your income or no payments at all.
With your student loans, the loans you’ve taken out each year during your studies are gathered into one amount for you to pay back. The 6-month period after you leave full-time studies is considered your non-repayment period. When this period ends, you enter the repayment period. In this period, you can:
- Choose to pay off interest that may have accumulated during your non-payment period or
to add it to your loan balance - Choose either a floating “variable” or fixed interest rate
