Quick answer
Education Loan for a PG Diploma in Canada
Yes, banks and NBFCs give education loans for PG diplomas at designated learning institutions (DLIs) in Canada. Typical loans are ₹15–35 lakh for a 1–2 year program. Because college programs are seen as riskier than university degrees, many lenders want collateral or a strong co-applicant. Check that the program is PGWP-eligible and that you can get a provincial attestation letter (PAL) before you borrow.
