Tuition Tax Credit & Carryover Calculator
Estimate accumulated CRA tax credits from Form T2202 and project post-graduation tax savings.
CRA Tuition Credit Carryover: International students in Canada can claim their eligible tuition fees on **Form T2202** (issued by their college/university). If you don't earn enough income during school to use the credits, they **carry forward indefinitely** and will offset your Canadian income tax dollar-for-dollar when you start working on your PGWP!
