Canada-Manitoba Integration Project
The Manitoba government is currently in the process of integrating some of the administration of the Manitoba Student Aid (MSA) program with the Canada Student Financial Assistance (CSFA) program. This means that the loan disbursement and repayment of Manitoba student loans will be managed by the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC). Note that existing loans in repayment will be managed by MSA until July 1, 2023, and students will continue to submit new student loan applications, requests for reassessments and appeals for funding to MSA as that part of the MSA program is not changing.

New process for receiving T4A
Students who received a Manitoba Bursary or a Canada Student Grant for Services & Equipment in 2022 will receive a T4A slip from Manitoba Student Aid. T4A slips will be available in your Student Aid Online Portal at the end of February.
Please note that Manitoba Student Aid does not issue T4A slips for Manitoba Student Loans because they are not considered income as per Canada Revenue Agency policy.
