Can i put the student line of credit interest under the student loan section?

Unfortunately, a student line of credit is not eligible for a tax credit. Only student loans distributed under the following programs are eligible for a tax credit: 

  • The Canada Student Loans Act
  • The Canada Student Financial Assistance Act, and
  • An equivalent provincial or territorial government law

Please see these articles for further information:
