Canada Student Aid Rules Changed August 1: Which Private-School Students Could Lose Grants or Loans?
Canada’s new student-aid rules took effect August 1, 2026, restricting federal funding for students at private, for-profit schools. Overseas students may lose grants and loans, while many attending Canadian institutions could lose the full-time grant. Transitional protections and program exemptions remain, making it essential to confirm a school and program’s eligibility before enrolling or paying a deposit for upcoming studies.
