The CTF/FCE is pleased to announce that effective December 31, 2025, eligible teachers and educators are now able to apply for the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness program.
CTF/FCE advises that teachers may not be eligible to apply until June 2026 (due to a requirement for 10 months prior consecutive work). CTF/FCE are actively seeking meetings to address this regulatory issue.
CTF/FCE are taking the necessary steps to inform as many teachers and educators as possible while also learning as much about the application process as possible to be able to provide support.
In the meantime, please see the updated Government of Canada’s information page here: Canada Student Loan Forgiveness.
Presently, eligible applicants must apply by mail using the following form: Application for Canada Student Loan Forgiveness.
It is expected that by mid-March 2026 educators will be able to apply online.
Despite the regulatory challenge noted above, it is recommended that members apply for loan forgiveness at their earliest convenience.
Please note that applications may be rejected given the current work period regulations. Members who receive rejections are encouraged to email: cslf-erpec@ctf-fce.ca so that CTF/FCE can track this issue.
Members are encouraged to contact the National Student Loan Service Centre with any questions regarding eligibility, the application process, and expected dates for loan forgiveness to be reflected in an individual’s outstanding loan balance. The CTF/FCE will also be preparing a FAQ document as they gather information.
