Thank you for using the Intuit TurboTax AnswerXchange

Rules for claiming provincial carry forward of tuition credits for a different province can be complicated, so we recommend confirming with the Canada Revenue Agency. But, check the bottom of the Provincial Tuition and  Education Amounts form. The schedule BC(S11) , 2018, has this: note " (1) If you resided in another province or territory on December 31, 2017, enter on line 1 your unused federal tuition, education, and textbook amounts from your 2017 notice of assessment or reassessment." So there are mechanisms for the transfer of credits when a taxpayer moves between provinces which should be consulted.

Hope this helps
