Once your application has been processed, the AFE will send you a Financial Assistance Statement telling you the
total amount of financial assistance granted and a breakdown of the instalments. Shortly after, you’ll receive
Guarantee Certificate and Loan Agreement.
Obtaining and submitting your Guarantee Certificate and Loan Agreement
Once your file has been registered and you've been approved to receive aid from the AFE, you'll start receiving
payments in your account within 24 to 48 hours of contracting your loan.

Did you know?
At Desjardins, even if you are studying out of town, you can continue doing business with your local caisse through
another one that's closer to your school.
Financial assistance payment procedures
To avoid complicating the repayment of your loan, it is very important that you be the only account holder at the
caisse. If the financial aid payment is deposited into a joint account or into a parental account in your name, your
periodic or monthly payments will be delayed so they can first be validated.
