Can I repay loan after studying in Canada?


Yes, you can repay your education loan after studying in Canada! In fact, this is a common pathway for many Indian students who fund their overseas education with the help of an education loan.

Here’s how it works:

1. Moratorium Period


Most Indian banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Financial Companies) provide a moratorium period, which is a grace period where you don’t have to make any repayments—typically covering the duration of your course plus an additional 6 to 12 months (or until you get a job).

2. Repayment Schedule


After the moratorium period ends, you’ll need to start repaying the loan through EMIs (Equated Monthly Instalments). The repayment tenure usually ranges from 5 to 15 years, depending on your lender and loan terms.

3. Earning During/Post-Study


Canada provides a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that allows you to stay back and work in Canada for up to 3 years after completing your study program. This is a great opportunity to gain work experience and earn in Canadian dollars, which can help you repay your loan more comfortably.

4. Repayment from Abroad


You can repay the loan even if you are working in Canada. Most banks accept international remittances, so you can transfer money from your Canadian bank account to your Indian loan account.

5. Currency Consideration


When repaying from abroad, consider currency conversion rates and bank charges. It’s advisable to plan your finances accordingly.
