I'm a convention refugee enrolled in a College in Ontario and paying domestic fee. My temporary SIN has expired, and I can't renew it until my work permit is processed. However, my work permit application is still in progress, which can take a couple of months.
The Financial office of my College says they can't issue me OSAP without a valid SIN, but immigration says my SIN is valid as I have "Implied Status" since my work permit application is still in progress. I still haven't received my PR, as it's going to take a couple of months, so I can't get a permanent SIN. I filed my taxes this year as well as for the last 3 years.
I don't understand what I can do in this situation, as both these departments are giving me the run-around. Not only that, but I'm already in debt after paying international fees for the first 2 semesters. Does anybody have any advice ?
