    Canada now has interest free student loans and very generous, flexible repayment schedules.

    We also directly transfer a lot of money to our colleges and universities that helps keep tuition lower.

      Ours are % of income above a threshold. Technically if you make less than that and stay in the country it goes up like $5 a year in fees.

      My wife finished studying while we had our first kid and only worked 4 hours a week - student loan wasn’t touched till she went back to full time a few years ago.
