Hi there, I have a question on how to report my foreign tuition? I have enrolled in an Online Master's degree at a US university (part-time with one course a term).

I have not received any tax slips as I do not have the US social security number and I live in Ontario, Canada.

You are able to claim tuition  paid to schools outside Canada, provided they meet the following criteria:

  • Universities outside Canada where a Canadian student is enrolled in a course that lasts at least 3 consecutive weeks and leads to a degree.
  • Universities, colleges, or other educational institutions in the United States that give courses at the post-secondary school level if the student is living in Canada (near the border) throughout the year and commutes to that institution.

 

Please Note:

In order to claim these fees, your institution must complete and give you either a Form TL11A - Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate - University Outside Canada, or Form TL11C - Tuition, Education, and Textbook Amounts Certificate - Commuter to the United States, whichever applies.
