You need to determine your residential status first. Please refer to this CRA link for more information:

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/international-non-residents/individuals-leaving...

If you don't have income, live temporarily in the country especially in a University residence, no residential ties to Canada, etc > then the answer will be No. You cannot even apply for any Ontario Benefits such as OTB or GST.

If you have a permanent residential dwelling, a job or income from research, etc > then the answer is Yes. You can apply for the benefits and the tuition amount.

 I hope this was helpful
