Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA)
All students must complete the Master Student Financial Assistance Agreement (MSFAA) when applicable. This is a legal agreement between you and the Government of Canada, which outlines your responsibilities in receiving federally funded loans and grants. Students must complete the MSFAA prior to receiving funding.
New in 2025, students must have a My Service Canada Account (MSCA) to log into the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC). Create a MSCA here.
