In certain circumstances, you can meet Ontario residency requirements on the basis of the residency of your spouse (if applicable) or parent(s) (if applicable). You must fill out the OSAP application to determine whether your residency can be based on that of your spouse or parent(s). If you have never resided in any Canadian province for 12 consecutive months in which you were not a full-time postsecondary student, you may be eligible for assistance in Ontario. If you wish to determine if you are eligible, contact the financial aid office at the Ontario postsecondary institution you plan to attend to discuss your situation. You may be required to provide a history of your (and your spouse or parent(s), if applicable) residency in Canada as well as documentation that confirms your date of entry into Canada (e.g., Canadian Immigration Record, Permanent Resident Card, or Protected Persons Status Document). Go to "Reviews" for additional information on the review process.
