Ontario Works and College

Post Reply New Topic

For those people in Ontario:

Do you know if it's possible to stay on Ontario Works while being a full-time college student?

I could be wrong, but I don't believe you can since a. OSAP is in place to help cover school costs and b. Ontario Works requires you to be available to accept employment offers

Okay, yeah and I'm on OSAP. I haven't received the funding yet. They cut me off in the beginning of August and I thought it was because of the OSAP but they later sent me a letter saying it was because I didn't hand in my monthly slip so I called my case worker and told me to come in the office and fill it out and a few days later they deposited money into my account. The reason I'm on Ontario Works right now is because I applied for disability through them and for the drug plan because my medication is really expensive. Luckily if I do get cut off from Ontario works in September I'll have a student drug plan by then.
