Canadian loans and tax credits
The Canadian Government, its provinces and territories offer student loans to eligible students studying at overseas universities. Canadian citizens may also be able to claim reduced tax on your education expenses in the form of tax credits.
Provincial and Territorial Student Aid
Canadian students should visit the Government of Canada student loans website for information about the loans the Government of Canada offers to eligible full- and part-time post-secondary students.
If you need any loan, enrolment, tuition fee confirmation or deferment forms completed, please email the University's Student Fees and Funding team who will complete all forms relating to Canadian loans, rather than your department or college.
If we have completed enrolment forms for your Canadian funding and you later suspend, withdraw or change status, please contact your loan provider to see if any further paperwork must be completed.
If your province or territory is not listed as designated for the University of Oxford, you will need to submit a designation application form. This should be available through your provincial website and once requested should be sent to the Student Fees and Funding team who will then submit this on your behalf.
Please note that it takes six to eight weeks for a designation application form to be processed by your province or territory. Loan applications can usually only be submitted once a designation is approved, so we would recommend allowing additional time for this step.
Please note that all forms will need to be submitted for completion in English, as we are unable to complete forms in French.
We recommend that forms are submitted to your province/territory electronically where possible. Whilst we can post paper forms for you, postal delays can cause the forms to arrive after expiry which can lead to delays with your loan application and funding.

We can complete a TL11A form for you for each whole or part month that you were enrolled and either of the following apply:
- You were enrolled full time (you are not considered to be in full-time attendance at a university outside Canada if you are taking courses through a distance learning program or over the internet).
- You were enrolled part time and can claim the disability amount, or were enrolled part-time due to a mental or physical impairment
Please note all fees will be given in GBP. To request one of these forms please email the Student Fees and Funding team letting us know which TL11 form you need us to complete, a blank pdf of the relevant form and your student number.
Forms are completed in accordance with regulations to reflect the calendar year: 1 January until 31 December. You will need two forms for a standard academic year (October - September) and the tuition fees paid will be proportioned accordingly. We can only issue TL11 forms from the January after the tax year in question has closed e.g. a 2026 tax form can only be issued from January 2027.
