OSAP Changes! WTF?!
OK so I submitted my OSAP on Jun. 9th with all of my information.

I checked it over like FIVE times before submitting so I know everything was perfectly accurate.

When I went to check my estimate today somehow the fields:

"Living with Parents During study year" = NO
"Location living 16 months before study period" = Other

Had changed to:

"Living with Parents During study year" = YES
"Location living 16 months before study period" = PARENTS

As a result I have been estimated WAY less then expected.

Why has this happened? I am 100% certain that when I submitted my application it was accurate so who changed this and why?

My parents don't have access to my OSAP account so I have no idea how this changed.

What should I do? Who should I contact?

Thanks

I figured it out. Because they automatically changes those fields if your parents live within 40KM of the school. I'm screwed :(
