As an international student in Canada, filing income taxes can be a daunting task. But with a little guidance and preparation, it doesn’t have to be. This guide provides an overview of what you need to know to file your Canadian taxes correctly and on time.
If you earn money from employment in Canada, then you must file taxes with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Additionally, if your income exceeds certain thresholds, you must file taxes with the CRA. However, if you don’t meet these criteria, you don’t have to pay taxes in Canada. Keep in mind that even if you’re exempt, filing a return can potentially result in refunds on tuition fees and education credits.
Filing taxes may seem intimidating, but there are resources available to help. Depending on your situation, various forms and assistance may be available. Online software programs such as TurboTax and UFile provide step-by-step instructions, and many universities offer free tax clinics where students can receive one-on-one help.
Tax returns are due by April 30th annually. Failing to file on time and owing taxes may result in a penalty and interest on any unpaid amounts. However, if you don’t owe taxes, you can file up to three years late. After filing, ensure that your mailing address is correct, as the CRA will send important correspondence 4-6 weeks later.
Filing Canadian income taxes as an international student can be simplified by knowing your obligations and how to complete them. With guidance from this guide, along with resources like software programs and university-sponsored tax clinics, filing your Canadian income taxes should become a less daunting task.
