3. Ask Ontario Works for more time
The Ontario Human Rights Commission has released their latest take on mandatory vaccines, passports and testing, here: http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/news_centre/ohrc-policy-statement-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-and-proof-vaccine-certificates. In light of this update, and the new directives that the Province released a few weeks ago, we are in the process of updating our covid testing content. Please re-visit the site to access the updated content when it is available.
Question & Answer
OW wants proof of something I can’t give them. What can I do?Ontario Works (OW) may give you a deadline to get them the information or documents that they want. If you can’t meet the deadline, ask your OW worker for more time.
Explain why you need more time and say how long you need.
For example, if you left home because of family violence, you might need time to get documents that you left behind.
Getting help
If OW refuses to give you enough time to get what they want, you may want to get help from a community legal clinic.
