Manitoba Student Aid 2022/23 Online Application Issue
Manitoba Student Aid has been made aware of an IT system issue that has prevented our office from validating Social Insurance Numbers. Students who submitted an online application on or before July 11, 2022 may be affected. This issue has caused delays in completing assessments and affected students have not received their Notice of Assistance to confirm their eligibility for funding. An IT fix has been implemented to resolve this issue and impacted students should receive their Notice of Assistance in the upcoming weeks.
Manitoba Student Aid is contacting post secondary educational institutions informing them of this issue and advising them that a solution has been implemented. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Please continue to check your online portal for updated information.

Canada-Manitoba Integration Project
The Manitoba government is currently in the process of integrating the administration of the Manitoba Student Aid (MSA) program with the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program (CSFA Program). This means that Manitoba student loans will be managed by the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC). The planned changes to the administration of student loans will be effective July 4, 2022. Note that existing loans will be managed by MSA until April 2023.
