Before they became billionaires, many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs started with ordinary jobs. 💼

They weren’t born with everything figured out. They started small, learned valuable skills, took risks, and kept moving forward.

Your current job doesn’t define your future. What you do with the experience can.

Major Ontario Benefit Rule Change

Ontario has introduced new eligibility rules for provincial social assistance, effective August 13, 2026.

Under the amended regulations, people who are in Canada without legal authorization can no longer receive support through Ontario Works (OW) or the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP).

The changes also specifically affect temporary residents, including:

🔹 Work permit holders
🔹 Study permit holders
🔹 Visitors and tourists

Applicants must now provide documentation confirming their citizenship or immigration status when applying for these benefits.

The change follows a July 2026 Social Benefits Tribunal ruling involving a foreign national whose temporary status had expired. The Ontario government subsequently moved to clarify the eligibility rules.

For newcomers and temporary residents, maintaining valid immigration status and understanding your options before your permit expires is more important than ever.

If your work permit, study permit or other temporary status is approaching expiry, don't wait until the last minute. Understand your legal options and plan your next immigration step carefully.

Important: Eligibility for social assistance depends on your individual circumstances and immigration status. This update is for general information and should not be treated as legal advice.
