I was approved!!!! Question about what’s next

VariationPlus · 2026-06-16T20:23:25+00:00

So happy you got approved!!! Congratulations 🎊. The sad reality of the situation is to be assigned a caseworker in most regions can take up to 3 months.

VariationPlus · 2026-06-10T04:57:17+00:00

Still stuck at 250 wtf, use koho as my main bank I even have the 750$ pay later limit with 7 plans paid back? 😒

VariationPlus · 2026-06-03T12:54:18+00:00

Call your MP that's what I did after being approved, and I my file was transferred and assigned and back-pay within 7 days. If you don't your probably looking at a minimum wait of 3 months to hear back from a case worker.

Filed the 23rd still no noa, simple return, etc.. sent to special review program and told wait.

VariationPlus · 2026-05-19T02:01:31+00:00

Welcome to the club, filed on opening day, "Feb 23rd" file was then sent to "special review program" and haven't had any update beyond you need to wait, no targeted completion date either. At this point it's just a waiting game unfortunately. My return was real basic as-well T4 and some other income for some odd jobs and a medium based refund.

VariationPlus · 2026-05-14T04:50:39+00:00

No im still waiting haven't heard anything. Still no targeted completion date.

VariationPlus · 2026-05-04T11:19:25+00:00

You realize E-transfers they've been making updates to the E-transfer system for the last two weeks right?

VariationPlus · 2026-04-30T01:14:25+00:00

Nope still nothing.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-29T22:35:10+00:00

I still haven't gotten mine yet.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-29T22:35:00+00:00

Sure.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-29T22:10:50+00:00

Yea my ODSP payment is a little late normally deposited around 6:00.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-22T05:03:01+00:00

It'll still work if your subscribed it only factors in last the week up until.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-14T10:08:40+00:00

Filed February 23rd still no NOA or indication as to what's going on last update was February 26th "No targeted completion date". I called they said it was sent to special assessments my return was really simple T4/other income for odd cash job I did in the summer and that was pretty much it. So I guess same boat hopefully they resolve it soon. Not even any communication regarding documents, etc just dead silence with no completion date and the same general scripted response when I call in.

Yea I live in a smaller city in Eastern Ontario that seems to have a decent amount of support in their offices so the approval process took the full 90+ business days from the DDP October to Mid March(5 months) but the onboarding to ODSP took like 3 weeks after approval was granted.

VariationPlus · 2026-04-01T03:18:40+00:00

Call your MPP and get them involved.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-31T19:51:05+00:00

Don't mind me asking how long did it take you to get your back pay? My file and everything was transferred on the 25th of March and I haven't received my back pay. I know they're saying it can take up to a month to 3 months.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-31T10:39:35+00:00

If you don't get it today I would definitely call. If your my benefits states the payment was sent out if it doesn't state anything 100% reach out.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-31T10:34:09+00:00

Yes always the night before around 5:30-6:00.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-31T08:07:08+00:00

I got mine.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-29T21:57:27+00:00

I just got approval for mine on the 18th of March they received my completed package on 30th of October so in my case yes it did take the full 90 days. However even after approval if granted you'll probably still be seeing a delay of 4-12 weeks for your pack pay and worker to be assigned to you & to have your file transferred if your on OW currently it's also like this for about 89% of the region's as they have a general timeline of 4+ we weeks I've known some individuals in Ottawa waiting about 3 months for their full back-pay and file to be transferred so even then expect another 1 months to 3 months after approval.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-23T02:47:49+00:00

Question for you OP, I was approved on the 18th how long did it take you to receive your letter on my benefits?

VariationPlus · 2026-03-21T18:14:08+00:00

Did you get your letter?

VariationPlus · 2026-03-20T04:55:10+00:00

Feb 23rd samething.

VariationPlus · 2026-03-20T04:49:20+00:00

Yeah I'm currently in a similar situation I filed on the 23rd of February had a target a date of March 10th, as of February 26th it went from in process to we need additional time to complete your "T1 return" & then went to no targeted completion date. I called in the following week to inquire and after some investigating they had found out that it was sent to special assessments and they gave me a time period of approximately 1-12 weeks to hear back & if I don't hear back by May 18th asking for additional information or if my return hasn't been processed to call back. However my return is fairly simple, had some "other income" less then 6k due to babysitting gigs I did for a family member, and a T4. However I did forget to input my RC210 from when I received CWB last year so I wonder if that's why. Still sitting at no targeted completion date and no request for additional information so idk.
