Why is child support required to disclose when parent 1 isn’t required to claim it as income on their T1? It makes no sense and seems totally unrealistic given the cost of living crisis.

The calculator was very deceptive. My son applied for Osap (1st time) and he is only being given $11k. It doesn’t even cover full cost of tuition or books and fees not to mention the $17k required for residence. We are absolutely devastated.

Please, if you have any recommendations or other resources, it’s appreciated.

Yes, we are aware of scholarships and bursaries but those are not guaranteed. Student job availability is also in crisis. WTF do students do? Universities only for the rich apparently.

So in March, I submitted the $50 application fee for my son. Housing just notified him they did not get the money.

I completed the form and sent proof of payment. Is this common? Student number identified and instructions were followed…… not a great way to start off the year as a new student lol

What’s going to happen when I send the first instalment?!! Is it better to pay using other methods versus online banking???

The deadline was February. Does anyone know when the applicants will be notified?
