I'm currently on an exchange through my university in England. During the pre-study period I'll be staying in the UK to live with my boyfriend before returning in September for classes. As such I won't be living with my mom so I've selected other on the app but from the information provided by OSAP I'm getting the impression that despite the 'Other' selection they still calculate it as though I'm living at home? Is this correct, is there something I need to do to let them know?

Also, I want to receive some funding but I also have a plan to get a Full Time job when I get back (to start paying off the debt I've wracked up since coming abroad- lol) but at the moment I have no guarantee or any idea if I'll be able to get something steady once I get back to Canada. I've listed 0 as my earnings for Jan 12-Dec 12, that is correct right? What do I do, however, if I do get a full time job come September and how much will it affect my loan amount? It would only be income for Sept-Dec but I'm still hoping for a 4 digit figure a month to pay off credit cards etc.

Thanks so much to whoever replies!

For your "other" situation i would give them a call just to be sure. & for your job amount, just guestimate, its not a big deal if your off a bit. and everything is relative to when you are actually in the said time frame. :)
