Yes. Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows all employees who worked from home during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 to claim up to $500 in expenses as a flat rate. This amount is a tax deduction and not a credit, which means you deduct it from your income to reduce your tax liability but will not result in refund.
In the case when your job requires you to work from home regardless of the COVID pandemic, you can claim more than $500 flat rate of employment expenses if your employer provides you with a signed T2200 "Declaration of Conditions of Employment". In this case you will be required to fill the T777 "Statement of Employment Expenses" form and file it with you tax return.
For more information please see our TurboTax article: You Can Claim $500 In Expenses If You Worked From Home Due to COVID-19.
