If you are still unsure if you should file a tax
return, it would be best to ask the CRA. If you are in Canada or the United
States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are somewhere else you
can call 613-940-8495. Here are more ways to contact the CRA: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/telephone-numbers.html
The federal tuition credit is a non-refundable tax
credit, so you would only receive the credit if you have tax owing. Any
remaining credit will be carried forward to future years. Depending on what
province/territory you are in you may also be eligible for other credits
related to your tuition. Also some provinces have eliminated their tuition tax
credits.
