I would like to get rid of my Professional Line of Credit (this was my student loan). I have around $40Gs left on it and I would like to put it on my mortgage and just pay a higher bi-weekly mortgage payment. Can I do this? and how?
You would have to refinance your current mortgage and use the equity in your home to payoff the existing loan, assuming you have 40K in equity.

I have applied for a student line of credit through scotia bank. Both my parents have co-signed it. I dont have very much savings because I just paid half of my tuition. Do you think i will qualify?
If your parents are considered strong co-signers then you will get your student line of credit. (because if you default and run up the card and then not make your payments on time... they get to pay it off).
It is the same as a credit card.
You get a preset spending limit and of course a monthly bill.
Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) Posts Strong Results, Led By ...
While Investment Banking revenues have remained flat at most US firms, there has been an interesting development north of the border: the Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS), the third largest bank in Canada posted it’s biggest quarterly profit increase since 2002, attributed to higher investment banking fees.
Net income in the fourth quarter rose to $855.7 million, or 83 cents per share, compared to 28 cents per share in the same period of 2008.
Scotiabank was the last of Canada’s six largest banks to report their quarterly results, and those earnings are fueled by a surge in fees that were derived from trading, along with arranging stock sales.
David Baskin, president of Baskin Financial Services in Toronto, noted “The business climate for the banks in general in Canada is very strong right now.” With capital market activity showing clear signs of improvement, the Canadian banks are in a unique position, as they are insulated from European bank’s Dubai troubles, and not facing the scrutiny of the treasury department which America’s banks are.
