On August 13, 2026, the Ontario government made changes to the rules about social assistance eligibility that may affect people with temporary status or no immigration status in Canada. Ontario Works (OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) are already contacting some people about their eligibility. The Income Security Advocacy Centre has information about the new changes: https://incomesecurity.org/new-social-assistance-rules-exclude-vulnerable-people-based-on-immigration-status/
