Student Debt Levels, Province by Province
Consolidated Credit breaks down the numbers
Media outlets across Canada are talking about Consolidated Credit’s interactive Student Debt Map, with journalists asking why the debt levels differ from province-to-province, and what students can do to lighten the load.
Studies show that half of Canadian students need to borrow money to finance their education, and many of those are tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Consolidated Credit’s Jacob MacDonald spoke with media in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia, about why debt levels are so high and how students can lower them.
