Wasn't there a question about your parents education? There's actually a law that if your parents are educated to a certain level (masters and above i THINK), they are legally forced to (if they have the resources) put you through your education to some level as well. Maybe they only take this into account as the be all and end all for your app. if this criteria is fulfilled?


This is the first I've heard of such a law, which leads me to believe it doesn't exist.

Now, if your parents are divorced and there's child support, that becomes a different story, because I guess you are still considered a dependent and thus eligible for child support.

E.g. BC
How long is child support paid for?
Child support is paid for as long as the child continues to fall within the legal definition of a “child.” In BC, a child is someone under the age of 19, or who is 19 or over but dependent on a parent. For example, a university student or someone with health problems requiring financial support may remain a child, even though they’re 19 or over.

Why did you bother Josh? My dad is on disability, my mom does works less than full time hours, there are 6 kids in my family and I know I would not get a cent.


That's nuts, I applied for OSAP my parents make roughly 75000 I have two brothers who still live at home, and I got 11, 500 from OSAP in my first year of university.

I know something along these lines exists. Maybe I did hear it in relation to divorce.
