Welfare or social assistance matters

Welfare and social assistance service are well-renown in Canada. Both the federal government and the provincial and territorial governments respect social services.

According to Ontario works Act, the purpose of service is to establish a program that: recognizes individual responsibility and promotes self reliance through employment; and provides temporary financial assistance to those most in need while they satisfy obligations to become and stay employed; effectively serves people needing assistance.

In fact, assistance may be granted to any individual or family head that has been determined, on the basis of need, to be unable to provide adequately for themselves and any dependants. Employable recipients may be required to participate in one or more employment activities as a condition of eligibility for financial assistance. Most jurisdictions require applicants to attain the age of majority prior to application, and be a resident at the time of their application and while receiving benefits.
