What's wrong with my OSAP?
So I honestly don't think OSAP is giving me enough money at all! My mom is a single mother and her income is less than $30,000. I will be living away from home and I'm also overloading (my tuition comes to about $7,000).

OSAP is giving me about $7,700. What is going on? :/ Shouldn't it be more??? A lot of my friends have higher amounts even though their parents have an income that is much higher $30,000.

What can I do about this? I can't just pull the rest of the money out of my ass and pay for rent + groceries and other stuff...

You should set up a meeting with a financial advisor, they can help you figure out why you got the entitlement you did. There are ridiculous amounts of variables in calculating OSAP entitlement. They can also advise you on what to do from there.
