hose training in Udemy you could claim as training costs. According to Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) 

you can deduct the cost of a training course as an employment expense. The course has to maintain, upgrade, or update your existing skills or qualifications that relate to your employment. You cannot deduct the cost of a training course as an employment expense if the course is for personal reasons, the cost is unreasonable, or you receive a lasting benefit from the course.

    You may be able to claim certain expenses you paid to earn employment income if you meet both conditions below:

     

    i)
    Your employment contract requires you to incur these expenses as part of your employment; and
    ii)
    you did not receive a non-taxable allowance for expenses paid (an allowance not reported on your T4 slip).
