International Student Loans in Canada

Canada has always been a popular destination for international students. In fact, Canada’s 642,000 international students now rank it third globally, behind only the US and Australia. Early indications suggest that the popularity of studying in Canada is going to increase compared with other destinations in 2020 due to the way different countries are handling the Coronavirus.

If you're also interested in studying in Canada, international students, including those from the US, can apply for loans in Canada - even without a cosigner.
