How could I claim previous tax credits when filing for tax for the first time?

This is my first year of receiving a SIN number and having income as I was a full time student for previous years. So I have never done income tax filing before.

I'm wondering if it is possible for me to file them(ex. tuition credit, donation and textbooks prior to 2017) in together, or would I have to individually file all the previous year's tax returns?

You would need to file the previous tax returns individually and wait for them to be assessed.  Once they are assessed, you can then apply the tuition credits to your current income tax return.
