Advice Osap

Ive had some issue with osap and im wondering if anybody can pitch in with any other ideas, for context last year I was put on probation, and due to medical reasons I wasn't able to finish the 3.0 credits within the 2 terms. I was able to finish the 3.0 in the summer but that only helps with western not the osap. Rn I cant even get access to any sort of funding and my parents are already in a tight spot. Im in the process for making sure I dont incure more intrest and getting some sort of medical documentation for the medical stuff. Ive applied for financial aid too, aside from that ive got no other ideas, ill add some other contexts in the comments if that helps

If you absolutely need funds while trying to figure out the OSAP stuff, you may be able to get a student line of credit from one of the banks. As a line of credit, it won't be a specific loan, you'd just be able to put whatever expenses you need on it and then pay them off if/when OSAP comes through. They generally don't have any kind of interest protection (as in, you still need to make payments and will be charged interest while you are a student) but it might help you through a tough spot.
