CRA Guide for Students

Friday, January 22, 2021

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) understands that many students have been struggling with financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if you didn’t make any income last year, that’s okay! They still encourage you to file your income tax and benefit return, so you don’t miss out on a refund, benefit, or credit that you may be entitled to receive.

To get your refund faster, avoid delays and reduce your exposure to COVID-19, they encourage you to sign up for direct deposit, and make sure you file online and on time. The CRA’s Get Ready page has information about online filing and deadlines, as well as other helpful links.
