Osap - New Canadian Immigrant

[Quokka]

I don't know if I'm just being dumb or fall into an unfortunate in-between category.

 

I moved to Canada in 2012 to pursue my postsecondary education - and arrived as a landed immigrant.

Last week, I became a Canadian citizen (Yay!).

 

From 2012 till present, I've completed my B.Sc and MPH. Therefore, I have not spent 12 consecutive months in Ontario not as a postsecondary student. I moved here and became a postsecondary student.

 

Does this mean I am ineligible? Any idea who I can contact for help?

If you've always lived in Ontario (even though you were a student that entire time), I believe you are eligible for OSAP (see this link https://www.ontario.ca/faq/whos-considered-ontario-resident-osap-purposes )

I'd also call OSAP and explain your specific situation, they're very helpful

 

P.S. Congrats on your citizenship and acceptance!!!
