The amount of Canada Student Loans deemed by the federal government to be uncollectible this year is up by over $57 million more than last fiscal year, says a report from the Parliamentary Budget Office.

The increase represents a 34 percent increase from last year and is “over $50 million more than what was originally projected in the Chief Actuary’s report,” writes the Budget Office, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
