Can’t find a job, denied from EI and OW. What do I do?
Left my job in augest to go to university, university had the strike and wouldn’t release OSAP money so I had to drop out since I couldn’t pay for most of the school fees. Still got slapped with the OSAP debt.
Ever since then I tried applying to EI because I left for school, but since I got OSAP I didn’t qualify. Then I tried OW and again, didn’t qualify but this time it’s because I live with my mom so I’m considered a dependent even though she doesn’t pay me through life.
Just recently tried emergency funding and again, I’m a dependent so I wasn’t approved.
I’m literally out of options. There is one page of jobs where I live and I haven’t gotten a single offer or anything. Did land an interview only for them to tell me they love me and will be calling me asap, only to ghost me.
So like, what am I to do?? I have bills and now a shit ton of student debt. Tried applying for a credit card as a last ditch resort but they require a down payment from me since my last card was canceled due to an overdraft (because I couldn’t get a job, I know this was stupid but I’m desperate)
