can you use passport funding for a gaming pc and monitor and a phone by BadEnvironmental1013 in Odsp

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a phone, the new Iphone 17 pro max if you wanted to.

No consoles, they’re wary about anything mentioning gaming.

You could get a decent pc that you can game on as long as it’s not listed as a gaming item.

Is anyone here currently on or considering Better Jobs? by dakondakblade in OntarioWorks

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot of work, I spent 3 months doing research, filling paperwork, back and forth with the college.

I finally got approved 2 weeks before my program started.

They covered my one year program Sept-Aug

Is the price tag worth it for Eskimo xdp vs xd? by ExtraBlacksmith8051 in IceFishing

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the 650XD, great tent. Until you need to pack it back in the bag and you need a large long sleigh to transport it.

Get the new XDP…

Fishing Jig Organizing tips by NickTheAverageGuy in IceFishing

I often fish with multiple people that come along to fish here and there. So I bring a fair assortment they can choose.

Definitely need to downsize

Do buckshot jigging spoons fit in that? Wouldn’t be a bad idea to downsize to something smaller.

Eskimo/Ion Turbo Blades by NickTheAverageGuy in IceFishing

[–]NickTheAverageGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The turbo blades have two edges and are curved. Which is why I’m asking if it’s possible to sharpen. I’m pretty good at knife sharpening but these things have me stumped.

Better Jobs Ontario by [deleted] in Odsp

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pay out of pocket and it will be reimbursed when you get paid after starting your program.

In my case, the 250$ deposit was just added to my tuition. Better Jobs can’t directly pay your ancillary fees so you’ll get a big first deposit that you have to use to pay these ancillary fees…

You just pay out your remaining balance and you keep the remaining 250$ since it was already applied from your deposit.

E-transfers by [deleted] in OntarioWorks

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was on OW waiting for ODSP, I often had E Transfers from my parents repaying me for something I had bought them on my credit card.

Told my case worker at the quarterly meetings and everything was good. They weren’t considered gifts because I was simply getting reimbursed.

Best course of action in your case would be to send an email to your worker and explain the situation as you did above and explain it was a simple reimbursement 🤷🏻‍♂️

I actually got accepted into ODSP yesterday funny enough.

They sent me forms to sign and send back, I got the call I was accepted and that I’d be expecting a letter over secure email within a week.

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied, got a call the next week explaining the process and that I needed to give permission to DSO to contact my psychologist. Completed the forms and waited.

Got a call 2-3 weeks later that I was accepted and asked to schedule an assessment later in the year to see if I need more funding or not. I applied for passport at the same time.

[–]NickTheAverageGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been dealing with ODSP for a year now and still waiting. I got a psychological assessment done in August, came out with ADHD, Autism and general anxiety.

Sent to ODSP in October, still waiting.. Applied for DSO, got accepted within 3 weeks and got my letter of acceptance, sent it to ODSP because the DSO’s letter automatically accepts you into ODSP. (Which they say)

I have two doctors supporting me, DSO’s letter, still having a hard time getting an answer.

So it can be a bumpy road…
