Thank you for sharing your question with us. We can empathize that the enrollment process isn't as straightforward as it could be.

Regarding your question you can find the information in our Settlement.Org article How do I enrol my child in school?

You may find this excerpt particularly helpful:

It is important to know that all children aged 6-18 can and must attend school, regardless of their immigration status or the immigration status of their parents. This is outlined in the Education Act, the law that governs public schools in Ontario: "A person who is otherwise entitled to be admitted to a school and who is less than eighteen years of age shall not be refused admission because the person or the person’s parent or guardian is unlawfully in Canada."

The only documents required for enrolment are

• Proof of your child’s age - You can use their birth certificate, passport or other travel or identity documents
  
• Proof of address - If you don’t have an Ontario Photo ID card or Ontario Driver’s License you can provide a bank statement, utility bill, or lease that shows your name and address
  
• Proof of guardianship - Only needed if you are not the child’s parent
  
• Immunization Records - You can get a printout from their health care provider
  

Should the administration deny enrollment you can ask to speak with the principal. If you are still being refused you can escalate your concerns starting with your School Board Trustee.

• If you did your training on or after November 1, 2012, submit a copy of your certificate with your application.
  
• If you did your training between January 2008 and October 2012, mark the box on your application. We’ll verify it electronically.”

To give you a guideline rent increase, your landlord must follow these rules:
12 months apart: After you move in, your landlord must wait at least 12 months before raising your rent. And any increases after that also must be at least 12 months apart.
90 days' written notice: Your landlord must give you a written notice at least 90 days before your rent goes up. This notice should be on one of the forms from the Landlord and Tenant Board. If your landlord does not use the Board's form, the notice could still be valid if it includes all the information that is on the Board's form.

If your landlord applies for an above-guideline increase, the Board will schedule a hearing. Your landlord must give you a copy of the application and a Notice of Hearing at least 30 days before the hearing.
You and other tenants affected by the application have the right to challenge your landlord's application at the hearing. For example, you might be able to argue that the work done by your landlord was not needed or did not cost what your landlord says it did.
After hearing from you and your landlord, the Board will decide how much of a rent increase it will allow.
If your landlord makes this kind of application, try to get legal help. There is information about where to get legal help in section Where to get help.
