Repayment of Canada Student Loans
When you graduate from On The Mic Training, it is time to start repaying your loan. For the first six months after you leave school, you will not have to make payments to your Canada Student Loan or your provincial student loan. This is called your six month non-repayment period. During this period, interest does accumulate at prime interest rate. Please see link below for more information on loan repayment.
The Canadian Government will help keep your loan in good standing by working with you when you need assistance with loan repayment. For more information about loan repayment assistance, click the link:
