but I'm unemployed on ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program) so I'm guessing my lack of job and finances are a worry.

I would guess that is a big factor.  Who is paying for all these stays in the US?

I travelled to the US first in February for a short term fashion design program (4 months, it's not a valid program for a student visa, and I told them that's what I was there for), met him and we started dating in April, then I went home for a couple of weeks in May, came back to the US to finish fashion design program, came home end of June, then visited him in August for a week.

When people spend that much time in the USA, and go back and forth like that, it is highly suspicious that you are working illegally in the USA, especially since you don't even have a job or other finances to support your trip.

First of all, so sorry for the delayed reply. I was unable to make any more posts for the day.

 

My parents support me a bit when it comes to travel, and they are retired from working for a commercial airline, so I am able fly standby at a much, much lower cost than the average person.

 

I can understand why it would appear suspicious, that makes sense. I am definitely not working in the US. Would printing out my bank statements or something like that help show that I have no income other than ODSP?

That would not be beneficial.

You are at risk of losing your ODSP. YOu are traveling way too much and are also at risk of being denied entry with all the visits. You are already on their radar and returning so soon after just being in the US is a good way to be banned from reentry, not just denied but banned. How much do you want to roll the dice? You have ODSP on the line and your ability for future travel to the US.
