I can vouch for the Home Depot one!
I’ve worked there for a year now, the reason why I tried applying was for the very same tuition reimbursement program; and I literally just recently had my application accepted.
The pro is that you get 50%, up to 3k, paid back! (Hello OSAP money)
The only con is that, from the day you receive the reimbursement, you have to stay with the company for 1 year. In addition, you will have to have been working for 6 months in order to apply, so I started working last June, which was enough that, 6 months later in december, (upon completion of your course) they accepted my application for Fall and Winter.
But suffice it to say, personally, this will help me a great deal, it may work for you as well.

DO NOTE, that, this program is for degrees and programs that relate back to home depot lol, so in my case, I am in Kinesiology + Psychology, both of which are acceptable, any business type course works as well. Essentially, as long as you can write about 2-3 lines on your application for how your degree will help you with Home Depot, your application will be accepted!
Best wishes and may Allah help you all with the financial burden of your tuitions, :)
