Interested topic
Are there any other financial aid and assistance I didn’t know about? Except ODSP?
What is the significant effect long term or short term of ODSP in chance to approve the H&C?
That’s why I’m asking is there any other assistance cases as you said can’t afford to live only ODSP ??
Awesome other part of ur comments
Absolutely and %100 medical care is available in every country even in the worst country Mozambique
So don’t worry we gonna apply soon wil tell all individuals that I know
Very well documented that living on ODSP is very difficult if you have been honest and are not working at the same time, have declared any savings, etc. Many use the foodbank to eat. Depending on the province there can be rental assistance programs, public housing, foodbanks, subsidized healthcare programsetc. If you have been temporarily disabled but have been working and have proof that you are on a pathway to return to full-time work and will be financially independent that would help an H&C case. Being able to access medical care will be one of the major considerations in a case where the H&C applicant is on ODSP with no possibility of returning to work and getting off ODSP. Not being able to support yourself without government assistance is typically a major issue for H&C applications. Receiving OW is much more of an obstacle than ODSP but in general H&C applicants typically should show how they are benefitting Canada from employment to volunteering and that they are financially self-sufficient without government help. Not sure why you think making jokes about abusing financial assistance programs or financial commitments is funny especially because it can result is serious consequences and impacts everyone else from higher taxes to higher insurance rates, etc.

It’s not easy to get rental assistance or housing subsidies in Ontario I applied almost 35 cities and areas the shortest time is one year I applied across all Ontario from west to east from Sarnia to Timmins
Yes I’m temporary disabled I showed them 4 years t4 and notice of assessment I will return for full time work no I’m not making any jokes this country believe me in term financially is very good for me just I stuck with immigration and my caseworker is very rude and unprofessional I want make complain in minister social services because can’t help me to find affordable housing she just sent me a link for social housing which is everyone can access to
Anyway thanks Canada and thanks for all ministry and ministers except ( Ahmed Husain, Marco mendenico, Sean Fraser and Marc millier ) otherwise they are all good

Case workers can’t magically find affordable housing that doesn’t exist. They can help you identify how to apply to be on the social housing wait list in the city where you are currently living. The social workers is actually doing their job correctly if they have provided information on how to apply to join the list for social housing in your city. You are required to indicate any change in your circumstances that would impact whether your pile qualify for subsidized housing. If you return to work you may no longer qualify for subsidized housing or you may be considered less of a priority. Many have been waiting for over 10 years on certain social housing waitlist. The demand for subsidized housing is much higher than supply.
