Students are also encouraged to familiarize themselves with temporary enhancements to federal and provincial student aid programs for the 2020-2021 academic year due to COVID-19.

Canada Student Loans have increased to $350 per week of study, from $210. Provincial Student Loans have increased to $100 per week of study, from $40.

In addition, student contributions from employment during the summer and employment earnings while in-study are waived for the academic year.
