Study Permits for Refugee Claimants

Hi all,
I have a student who has applied to university for September. They are currently a refugee claimant, but are worried that their application will be denied. If it is denied, they will be filing an appeal.
If someone is a refugee claimant, I know they are not eligible for OSAP. However, if they are currently in Canada as a refugee claimant, can they apply for a student visa (even though they will not be able to show they can pay for the tuition)? Can a student visa lead to a SIN card?
Long story short - is there any way for a refugee claimant who is not financially independant to get a SIN card so that they can apply for OSAP?
Thanks,
Brian |
