Interest bearing loan

Q: I attend pharmacy school in the United States. It's my first year and as you might know I had to take out a loan because of the tuition.

Q: My father joins a profit-sharing business which guarantee a monthly dividend between 15% to 30% for up to 1 year (with no guaranteed principle). My question is, is it permissible for me to market this profit-sharing business and make out a sideline business agreement out of it with my potential client? The agreement shall state that, I shall be the guarantor of the principle amount given for the purpose of the profit-sharing business. In return, the client shall pay me a 3% monthly dividend for the period of 1 year. In the event that the business collapses, I shall be liable to pay back the principle amount to my client.

Purchasing a house on mortgage

Q: I have a question that I personally don't have any house or any land in any of the countries. We always hate interest and never did any business or anything else where interest is present. Our income is 100% halaal with an office job. If I buy a house with a mortgage in Canada for personal living with the niyyat of paying it off as soon as possible (within 5,7 years), is it permissible?
