Please keep in mind that these are rough estimates and your actual OSAP amount may vary.

I'm not sure where the conversation about the OAN is... but I didn't have mine and all I had to do was input some of my info and answer my security questions on the OSAP site and it gave me my OAN....

If you had spaces in your security questions, then you had a problem recovering your password. The new format for the security answers have no spaces, so anyone who did needs to go through the hassle of going to a financial aid office or secondary school to fill out forms.

Yep.

I don't see why we couldn't just stick with the SIN number.
