Fixed interest rates with Windmill Microlending
Despite the increase in inflation and many newcomers being negatively impacted by the rising loan rates and cost of living. Helping newcomers succeed professionally in Canada is Windmill Microlending's main goal. Windmill values giving all newcomers the chance and the self-assurance to get jobs that fit their qualifications and experience including your dreams of becoming an accreditted Canadian lawyer.
One of the ways Windmill is making this possible is by offering all new loans at a fixed interest rate of 5.95% for the entire loan duration.
Windmill loans will continue to be available and inexpensive for newcomers because of the unprecedented below-prime rate cap on the loan. An interest rate that is fixed for the duration of the loan guarantees stable payments, which enhances financial management comfort.
NCA Tutor has frozen our course fees for the past couple of years and will continue to maintain these low rates despite the increase in operating costs. We will also continue to offer early bird discount prices to the first 7 registrants for each course giving our students further savings in their mission to successfully become accreditted Canadian lawyers. NCA tutor course and study materials are pre-approved expenses with Windmill Microlending!
