Probably coincidence but give SFAS a call to see if they've received your declarations.

When is the last day to send in the documents for OSAP?
I've applied for OSAP already, but haven't sent in the required documents to financial aid.

90 days prior to the end of the winter/fall term if you are taking 2 terms this year. That means somewhere in January. Your entitlement won't be released until your documents are received and processed though.

Anyone have any updates to share with MSFAA? I sent my MSFAA in on a Friday awhile back at the end of June. I mailed my signature pages in just after the long weekend. My OSAP page says my signature pages have cleared (no longer appear as documents to be provided by students) but the MSFAA form still appears as if I haven't sent it in..
I'm just wondering if anyone has actually had their MSFAA form clear through their OSAP log-in page as being processed? And I mean checking "Check Status" and then clicking the link on the left side that says "Documents to be Received" or something or something along the lines of that where it says Status Summary and whatever other list of 3-4 options are on the side.

My MSFAA form notification has just cleared. I checked on Friday and it was still listing it as a pending document to be received. Today when I logged into the website today it prompted me with a message that my MSFAA form had been received July 5th.
My guess is that there's a bit of a backlog with them updating everyone's MSFAA form since it took them over 3 weeks to acknowledge the receipt of mine. Submitted mine the Friday before the July 1st long weekend.

I sent my forms in way back early July for the MSFAA, but then they received it and told me i had to mail in a photocopy of a valid ID and SIN card. so i mailed those on the July 16th but still haven't gotten any confirmation. I also mailed in my signatures to mac on the same day but still nothing on OSAP..
normal or should i send it again? =\

It takes a while for the OSAP website to update though. You could probably contact SFAS to ask if they've received/processed your documents.

For me it took 3 weeks for them to update my OSAP to show that they received all my documents. They then took another week to process those documents and calculate my loan.
