The definition of a person with a disability used by the Employment Equity and Strategic Initiatives Division is the same one used by the International Labour Organization. It would seem to me that your diagnosis would put you in the category of a person with a disability and I would certainly suggest you submit your application for inclusion in our Client Registry. With regards to available assistance, you could contact your local office of the Provincial Department of Human Resources and Employment and inquire about the Employability Assistance for Persons with Disabilities program. You could also contact the local office of Human Resources Development Canada to inquire about any financial assistance available through the Opportunities Fund. Student loans are also available.
Correspondence courses vary, depending on the educational institution.
This can also be done by visiting the web sites of these educational institutions. Please feel free to review these hiring initiatives and contact the Division if you have any additional questions.
