Yes, that is accurate.
The Canada student loans program parameters are clear that the study program that the student is going to must be at least 12 weeks long. Apprenticeship programs usually are not that long. They vary between 4 and 12 weeks. So that was one issue. The other one was that the Canada student loans program parameters require that the program the individual is pursuing must lead to a degree, diploma, or certificate. These technical trainings don't do that. That's why apprentices did not qualify for Canada student loans.
