MOVING TO ONTARIO IN THE SPRING OR SUMMER, i'M ON DISABILITY WITH HUMAN RESOURCES CAN iI GET ANY HELP TO MOVE
Question:
If you want to be on disability in Ontario, you will need to be an Ontario citizen. Unfortunately, that is how it works. In order to get onto disability leave it will take quite a while, as you need to file mad paperwork with several letters from your doctors stating that you are unable to work.
As cited from thier website:
"To be eligible for Income Support under the ODSP, you must:
-be are a resident of Ontario
-qualify financially
-have a disability (substantial physical or mental impairment that is continuous or recurrent) which is expected to last one year or more.
You may also qualify if you:
-receive disability benefits under the Canada Pension Plan (CPP);
-are 65 or older and are not eligible for Old Age Security (OAS);
-live in a psychiatric facility;
-live in a facility under the Development Services Act or in a home
-under the Homes for Special Care Act; or
-are about to turn 18 and currently get a benefit called the Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities Benefit (this used to be called Handicapped Children's Benefit).
The amount of money you receive from the ODSP will vary depending on such factors as rent costs and family size. "
Basically, you will have to rely on HEPC for all of your financial needs.
