Student Loans in Bankruptcy Blog

Canada Student Loan Bankruptcy Legislation

Student loans in Canada are not automatically discharged in a bankruptcy or consumer proposal unless they are over 7 years old. This blog tracks changes to this legislation, and current student loan and bankruptcy developments.

Bill C-55 Referred to Committee

Bill C-55 has passed Second Reading in the House of Commons and is now going to the Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Natural Resources, Science and Technology for hearings.

In an interesting debate, all parties appear to be generally supportive of the Bill, so it appears increasingly likely that it will pass; the only questions now are when, and with what changes.

Stay tuned to this space for further updates.
