My son finished school has no job should he file a tax return?

If your child is at least 17 years old and enrolled in a qualifying college, university, or educational institution, they should be eligible for the tuition credit. Your child's college or university should then issue a T2202A tax slip for the number of months they attended college or university. 

If your child has no Tuition fee to claim and has no earned income and is less than 17 years old, they are not required to file a tax return.
