Правила в Онтарио совсем по другому определяют "независимую единицу":For OSAP purposes, you are considered an Independent student if the following applies to you:You are separated, divorced, or widowed, AND have NO dependent children living with you.You have not been a full-time student at a high school or postsecondary institution for at least 12 consecutive months on 2 or more occasions.You have been out of high school for at least 4 years before the start of your study period.Это значит, что после школы в течение 4 лет ребенок ЗАВИСИТ от вашего дохода даже если живет отдельно.
