In fact, the student loan must meet certain conditions to be erased in a bankruptcy. The same conditions also apply in the case of a consumer proposal, an alternative to bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>The rule is simple: Whether it is part-time or full-time, there must be 7 years or more between the end of your studies and the date of the bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>If 7 years have passed between the signing of your bankruptcy and the end of your studies, your student loan may be included in the bankruptcy and you will be released from it. If the deadline is less than 7 years, bankruptcy will not be able to free you from your student loan.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to know that a return to school, full-time or part-time, pushes the deadline again. It is then necessary to restart the calculation of the 7 years. It is, therefore, necessary to refer to the date of the last studies to calculate the 7 years rule.<\/p>\n<h2>Other options for paying your student loan<\/h2>\n<p>Bankruptcy and the consumer proposition are solutions that you will want to use as a last resort. Before you get there, there are other options available to you:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take a payment agreement<br \/>\nTry to come to a payment arrangement with the institution that originally gave you a student loan. Try to lower your monthly payments, even if you have to extend the repayment period.<\/li>\n<li>Make a debt consolidation<br \/>\nIt is possible to call on a debt consolidation with a financial institution. You will consolidate all your debts together, including your student loan. You can then settle in one payment per month for most of your debts.<br \/>\nDebt consolidation is available in the majority of financial institutions and is accessible to consumers.<\/li>\n<li>Government assistance programs<br \/>\nIf your debt consolidation would not be accepted, the governments of Quebec and Ontario have set up programs to help consumers stuck with a student loan. These programs make it possible to reduce repayments and even to suspend payments during more difficult periods.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afe.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/repayment\/deferred-payment-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deferred repayment program<\/a> (Quebec).<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/data\/osap-repayment-assistance-plan-usage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OSAP Repayment Assistance Program<\/a> (Ontario).<\/li>\n<li>Establish the nature of your loan.<br \/>\nSome banking institutions offer &#8220;Student Loans&#8221; that are personal lines of credit or personal loans at more favourable rates for students. Not being &#8220;real&#8221; student loans, these financial products could be included in a bankruptcy or consumer proposal. It is therefore important to consult a counsellor to determine the nature of your debt.<\/li>\n<li>An exception to the 7-year rule<br \/>\nFinally, there is an exception if you have to consider bankruptcy or a consumer proposal but you do not meet the 7-years rule.<br \/>\nUnder certain conditions, a period of 5 years may be accepted to include a student loan in a bankruptcy or a consumer proposal. For that, the court must determine that the repayment of the student loan causes excessive financial difficulties to the consumer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>WHERE CAN YOU TURN FOR HELP?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are having financial problems because of your student loan debts, we are here to help you.
