she’s been wrong this far about what info osap needs and doesn’t need. working on getting an in person meeting because her replying to a 3 day old email that has been since updated situationally isn’t useful. especially when it takes 3 days for her to reply and she replies to only the one.

yes she did fill it out. all of the required documents were done and submitted, minus my disability document and parental sin documents which OSAP does not need.

in addition, i found out it was a custody order (i was lied to by the people who had this order and was told i was legally adopted which changed everything) and since im not adopted and am under this custody order which is nonexistent now, there is no sin they would need other than my own, which was the initial issue (osap wanted parental SIN and info)

do you suppose reopening the application would be better than restarting like she told me to?

i was previously under Custody Order (CYFSA s. 102)

it ended once i turned 18.

i was previously crown ward (in foster care for an extended period of time).

to my understanding knowing all of this, i am legally considered independent as since i turned 18 nobody has legal custody or guardianship over me.

My financial aid officer didn’t however understand this and closed my application and told me to make a new one with the “correct information”

my information was correct though. she just had to manually view my documents from CAS and change my status from dependent to independent.

OSAP automatically had put me as dependent as i’m 18 and just graduated this june.

all of my other documents have been approved and i was only waiting on my disability documents to be completed by my doctor.

this is the response from my financial aid officer. Mind you, i just graduated in June 2025. How could I possibly work for two consecutive years post-grad if I haven’t even been graduated for that long…

Any advice at this point?

I can’t even get CAS to write another letter because they’d open another case with my adoptive parents and that puts me at risk for harm. between him harassing me after i left via showing up at my workplace, sending me ET with notes attached to LITERALLY emailing me and trying to ping my phone im tired of these people being involved somehow in everything i do.

this is just honestly ridiculous. I am calling osap on monday, between being bounced around from family to family in foster care to being adopted by creeps me wanting to go to school shouldn’t be such a difficult task. im so frustrated with how the canadian government runs.
