When you filled out the application, the approximate cost of books by that university was already calculated, so no, unfortunately they won't give you any extra money.. the amount of funding that's shown on your OSAP account now is what you'll be getting..
and for off-campus living costs, again, when you fill out your application, they would keep that in mind - you'll most likely get more funding, but it wouldn't cover the full cost.
I remember applying to my 3 universities last year, one of which wasn't within commuting distance, so when I filled out the "estimate OSAP application", I put that I would be living away from home - the estimation was about $2000 more than what I'm getting now, but definitely not enough for rent, food, laundry, phone, wi-fi, cable, etc.. for 8 months.
