You will need to file your Canadian tax return if you are living in Canada. You will complete your information on your schooling- tuition and possibly rent. Also, you will need to claim the money you make as a freelancer working for a US company. It doesn't matter which account the money goes into- You need to claim everything that is made while here in Canada.
