Residents living in Canada, whether local or foreign students, who have lived in Canada for more than 183 days are required to file tax returns, and the annual tax season is fast approaching, canadian residents, both those with and without income, are prepared to fill out complex income tax returns. I believe that many foreign students will be confused, the following small series give some notes, I hope you can see some of the basic articles in front, and pay attention to this note, easily through the tax season. Notes: 1. The declaration of tuition fees, no matter how long it takes, can be made up. But no refunds. Save it for work. Tax Credit. 2. Housing receipts must be properly kept, if the original rental housing, and the landlord agreed to a cheaper point not to open rent receipts, then can not enjoy housing subsidies. 3. Tax Returns are filed between January and April of each year. Tax Returns must be filed by April 30 of each year. 4. To apply for an ITN, you need to provide a copy of your driver's license and a certified signature or stamp from a doctor, accountant, lawyer, teacher, or government official to prove that the license is valid. But if you don't have a license, take your passport with a photo page and a copy of study permit to a lawyer to get a notarized document. 5. Students can receive gsthst credit, the GST / hst subsidy that the government pays out to low income individuals and families on a quarterly basis in part or in full. Please note that this portion of the subsidy is tax-free. But you have to declare it. If you don't, there's no subsidy. 6. If the student has filled out the bank transfer information, the tax office will transfer it directly to the student's bank account or send a check based on the student's mailing address. 7. The Education and textbook tax credits were abolished by the government as of 1 January 2017, but those not previously used remain in effect.
