I was discharged from bankruptcy two years ago. The bankruptcy included student debts in Quebec dating back more than 10 years. Will this prevent me from applying for loans and bursaries again?
I haven't heard of any rule that would prevent a new student loan following bankruptcy. It's best to check with the relevant authorities for more certainty.

- I have a debt from my studies in Quebec, which I completed almost 10 years ago. I have used all my deferred repayment options (60 months). The last request was made two years ago. I haven't been able to start making payments due to financial difficulties. I had permanent resident status from 2010 to 2014. I have been living abroad since 2014 and have therefore lost my permanent residency (I have been absent for over five years). I started a study program in Quebec last year with international student status. I am currently studying remotely due to the pandemic, but I should be arriving in Quebec soon. Could my situation cause problems with immigration services upon my arrival? Is there any way to reduce my debt? Who should I contact to renegotiate my file?
