Self-employed

If you need the training to acquire a skill that you don’t currently have, then the CRA would consider the training a “Capital” expense. You would not be able to deduct the cost of a capital expense. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/it357r2/archived-ex...

However, if your training is eligible, you might be able to get some deductions and credits as a student. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/segments/students/common-deductions...
