				Any Update on OSAP Yet?
			 
			
		
		
		Has anyone had their program costs entered onto their OSAP application yet?? Or received the amount of funding they will be getting?? 
  
I mailed my consent forms in and have been checking the website regularly... Still nothing!

 Nothing on my side either. I was trying to find when I actually got my entitlement but couldn't find the exact date. But I think it was in the beginning of August...

		 I submitted my OSAP, and I know it has to go through review etc, but how accurate is the estimate it gave me after having submitted it?

Based on the estimate I was given last year, it was pretty close within a few hundred dollars... I don't really know what the deal with this year's application will be...

 Mine says it's waiting for my signatures as well as my income verification. They have to verify that I have a 0$ income... How hard can that be? I deposited my signatures in the dropbox on Wednesday so I'll probably wait until this Wednesday before I ask if they received it.

		 Yeah, they have to verify my income information as well. I just hope they get it done quick since I had so many problems with OSAP last year, didn't get it until late October.

 Ya it says the same thing for me as well.
 
Also I sent in my signature pages last week on Wed. and it disappeared from the "Things to do" list on OSAP's website yesterday so I guess it went through fairly quickly.
