Tax season is here.

The income tax year in Canada is January to December, and forms are generally due the end of April of the year following. (January – December 2014 tax returns are due no later than April 30, 2015.)  Please click Taxes in Canada for more information on filing taxes as an international student.

Please note:  International students who had income while they were in Canada (including scholarships and bursaries) must fill out an income tax return.  Even students who have not had income should file an income tax form since they may be eligible to get money back.  See below video series for additional information for international students.
