- universities outside Canada where the qualifying student is enrolled in a course that lasts at least three consecutive weeks and leads to a degree at the bachelor level or higher
- universities, colleges, or other educational institutions in the United States that give courses at the post-secondary school level, if the qualifying student is living in Canada (near the border) throughout the year and commutes to that institution
Qualifying student
A qualifying student is an individual who meets all of the following requirements:
- In the month, is enrolled in either:
- a qualifying educational program as a full-time student at a DEI

- a program at an educational institution certified by the Minister of Employment and Social Development Canada that are not for university credit
- Is enrolled in a program at the post secondary level if living near the border of the United States and commuting to a DEI in the United States
Qualifying educational program
A qualifying educational program is a program that lasts at least three consecutive weeks and requires a minimum of 10 hours of instruction or work in the program each week (not including study time), at an educational institution that is:
- a Canadian university, college, and certain other educational institution
- a university outside Canada where the qualifying student is enrolled in a course that lasts at least three consecutive weeks and leads to a degree at the bachelor level or higher
- a university, college, or other educational institutions in the United States that give courses at the post-secondary school level, if the qualifying student is living in Canada (near the border) throughout the year and commutes to that institution
Notes
The 10 hours spent on instruction or work includes lectures, practical training, and laboratory work. It also includes research time spent on a graduate or postgraduate thesis.
An individual undertaking a post doctoral fellowship is not considered to be enrolled in a qualifying educational program.
Specified educational program
This is a program that lasts at least three consecutive weeks and would be a qualifying educational program if the hours-per-week time commitment were met, as described in the definition of a qualifying educational program.
Note
A program is not considered a qualifying or specified educational program if the student receives, from a person with whom they deal at arm’s length, a grant, reimbursement, benefit, or allowance for that program.
For more information, go to Canada Revenue Agency or see Income Tax Folio S1-F2-C1, Qualifying Student and the Education and Textbook Tax Credits.
Chapter 1 – General information
Who has to file the T2202, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate?
Every DEI in Canada has to file the T2202, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, for each qualifying student.
For more information, see definition of Qualifying student.
Due dates
As a DEI, you have to file your T2202 information return electronically with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on or before the last day of February following the calendar year that the information return applies to.
If the due date falls on a Saturday, a Sunday or a holiday recognized by the CRA, your return is considered on time if the CRA receives it or if it is postmarked on or before the next business day. If you fail to file it on time, we may assess a penalty. See Chapter 6 – Penalties, interest, and other consequences.
You must give students their T2202 certificates on or before the last day of February following the calendar year to which the certificates apply. If you do not give each student their T2202 certificates on time, you may be assessed a penalty. The penalty for failing to distribute T2202 certificates to students by the due date is $25 per day, for each day the certificate is late, with a minimum penalty of $100 and a maximum of $2,500.
Distributing the T2202
DEIs may distribute T2202 certificates electronically by making them accessible to their students on a secure portal from which the student can print the certificate in a secure manner. With written consent from the student, the DEI can distribute T2202 certificates using email.
In all other cases, where the student does not have access to a secure portal from which the student can print the certificate in a secure manner or when the student requests it, the DEI will provide two copies of the T2202 certificate, in paper format, to the student in person or by mail.
Note
If T2202 certificates are returned as not deliverable, you may want to keep the copies with the student’s file.
Other information
If you know that the address you have on file for a student is not correct, do not send the student’s T2202 certificate copies to that address. Document why the copies were not sent and your efforts to get the correct address. Keep this information with the T2202 certificate copies in the student’s file. You still have to include that T2202 certificate information in your T2202 information return when you file it.
If you are printing the T2202 certificate, we suggest that you print the two T2202 certificates that you have to give to each student on one sheet. For security purposes, do not print your 15-character RZ program account number on these copies.

Chapter 4 – Filing methods
What you need to file
Business number
You need a valid business number (BN) RZ 15-character program account number to file the T2202 certificate and summary. If you do not have a BN or BN RZ program account number, go to Business number to register for a BN online.
Electronic filing methods
You will only be able to file the T2202 certificate and summary by Internet using one of the electronic filing methods below. The CRA does not accept returns filed on CDs, DVDs, USB keys, diskettes or paper. For more information, go to File information returns electronically (tax slips and summaries).
You can file the returns by Internet starting on January 13, 2025.
Web Forms
The CRA Web Forms application is free and secure. To use it, all you need is access to the Internet. With Web Forms you can easily file an information return, following the step-by-step instructions.
Web Forms lets you:
- file up to 100 certificates (original, amended, or cancelled) through canada.ca
- calculate all of the totals for a summary
- create an electronic information return containing certificates and a summary, which can be saved and imported at a later date
- print all your certificates and your summary
- validate data in real time
After you send your return, you will receive a confirmation number as proof that the CRA has received the return.
To use the Web Forms application, you must have a web access code (WAC). If you do not have a web access code, you can easily get one online or by calling the CRA. For more information, see Web access code.
To start using Web Forms or to get more information, go to File information returns electronically (tax slips and summaries).
Internet file transfer (XML)
Internet file transfer lets you send an original or amended T2202 information return with a maximum file size of 150 MB. All you need is a Web browser to connect to the Internet, and your software will create, print, and save your electronic information return in XML format.
You do not need an RZ program account number to use the Internet file transfer service, but the T2202 information return you send must contain the T2202 issuer’s RZ program account number. For example, if you are a third-party service provider, you do not need your own RZ program account number.
When using Internet file transfer, the information is automatically encrypted before it is sent to us. If you are filing by Internet file transfer, the return must be in the mandatory Extensible Markup Language (XML) format and conform to our technical specifications (including Form T619, Electronic Transmittal).
You can file multiple T2202 information returns in one submission using the Internet file transfer application. You can do this as long as the total submission is not larger than the 150 MB restriction. Service providers must use their own BN and WAC – not the WAC of each T2202 issuer in the submission.
For more information about this filing method, contact your software publisher or go to File information returns electronically (tax slips and summaries).
Web access code
To file your return over the Internet using XML or Web Forms, you will need a business number and an associated web access code (WAC), unless you are filing through My Business Account or Represent a Client. For more information about those services, see the next section, Filing without a web access code.
If you have misplaced or do not have a WAC, go to File information returns electronically (tax slips and summaries) to access the CRA’s WAC online service. If you cannot get your WAC online or want to change it, you can call business enquiries at 1-800-959-5525.

- To enter your CRA security code, return to My Business Account
To register as a representative, including employees of a business, go to Represent a Client and do the following:
- Select “CRA register” and create a CRA user ID and password. You can also select “Sign-In Partner Login / Register” and use the same sign-in information you use for other online services, such as online banking
- To register, you will need to provide these two codes:

- your postal code or zip code
- Register as the business owner (using your BN) or as yourself and receive a representative identifier (RepID), or create a group of representatives and receive a group identifier (GroupID)
- Get authorization to have online access to the T2202 account by doing one of the following:
- using the “Authorization request” service with Represent a Client
- giving your BN, RepID, or GroupID to businesses or your employer so they can authorize you using the “Authorize or manage representatives” service in My Business Account
Chapter 5 – After you file
When we receive your completed information return, we check to see if you have prepared it correctly. After a first review, we enter your return into our processing system, which captures the information and performs various validity and balancing checks. If there are any problems, we may contact you.
To correct an error on a certificate you have filed, you have to file an amended certificate.
Note
To change a student's address, you do not have to file an amended T2202 certificate.
Amending or cancelling certificates over the Internet
To amend a certificate over the Internet, change only the wrong information and retain all of the remaining information that was originally submitted. Use summary report type code "A" and slip report type code "A."
To cancel a certificate, do not change any information that was entered on the original certificate. Use summary report type code "A" and slip report type code "C."
For more information about amending or cancelling information returns using the Internet, go to File information returns electronically (tax slips and summaries).
Adding certificates
After you file your information return, you may discover that you need to send us additional certificates. If you have original certificates that were not electronically filed with your information return, file them separately.
To file additional certificates electronically, see Electronic filing methods.
Note
If you file additional T2202 certificates after the due date, you may be charged a late-filing penalty. For more information, see Late filing and failure to file the T2202 information return.
Do not file an amended T2202 Summary.
Replacing certificates
If you issue paper T2202 certificates to replace copies that are lost or destroyed, do not send us a copy. Clearly identify them as “DUPLICATE” copies, and keep them with your records.
Chapter 6 – Penalties, interest, and other consequences
Mandatory electronic filing
Failure to file information returns over the Internet
If you do not file information returns (certificates) by Internet file transfer or Web Forms, you are liable to a penalty determined as follows:
Number of information returns (certificates) by type | Penalty |
---|---|
6 to 50 | $125 |
51 to 250 | $250 |
251 to 500 | $500 |
501 to 2,500 | $1,500 |
2,501 or more | $2,500 |
Late filing and failure to file the T2202 information return
You have to give a qualifying student their T2202, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, and file your information return with the CRA on or before the last day of February following the calendar year to which the information applies. If the last day of February falls on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public holiday recognized by the CRA, your information return is due the next business day.
Note
Several provinces and territories have their own unique holidays. Therefore, due dates may be affected by where you reside. For a list of public holidays, go to Public holidays.
We may assess a late-filing penalty if you file any information return late. Each certificate is an information return. The penalty we assess is based on the number of information returns you filed late.
The penalty is $100 or the amount calculated according to the chart below, whichever is more:
Number of information returns (certificates) filed late | Penalty per day (up to 100 days) | Maximum Penalty |
---|---|---|
1 to 50 | $10 | $1,000 |
51 to 500 | $15 | $1,500 |
501 to 2,500 | $25 | $2,500 |
2,501 to 10,000 | $50 | $5,000 |
10,001 or more | $75 | $7,500 |
Failure to provide information on a return
Anyone who prepares an information return has to make a reasonable effort to get the necessary information, including the social insurance number (SIN), from each individual who will receive a certificate. If you do not do this, you may be liable to a $100 penalty for each failure to comply with this requirement.
Failure to provide a social insurance number (SIN) on a return
Make sure the SIN and name you enter on each T2202 certificate are correct.
If the student does not give you their SIN, you should be able to show that you made a reasonable effort to get it. For example, if you contact a student by mail to ask for their SIN, record the date of your request and keep a copy of any
correspondence that relates to it. If you do not make a reasonable effort to get a SIN, you may be subject to a penalty of $100 for each failure. If you cannot get a SIN from the student, file your information return, without the SIN, no later than the last day of February. If you do not, you may be subject to a penalty.
Failure to provide a social insurance number
An individual who does not have a SIN has 15 days from the date of an information request to apply for a SIN at any Service Canada centre. Application forms and instructions are available at Employment and Social Development Canada. After receiving a SIN, an individual has 15 days to provide it to the person who is preparing an information return.
However, students who are temporary residents of Canada and not permitted to work in Canada may not be eligible to receive a SIN.
For more information, see Information Circular IC82-2R2, Social Insurance Number Legislation that Relates to the Preparation of Information Slips, or visit Service Canada.
Using the SIN
If you have been provided with a student’s SIN, you cannot knowingly use or communicate it, or allow it to be communicated, other than as required or authorized by law or for the purpose for which it was provided.
If you use a student’s SIN for unauthorized purposes, you may be guilty of an offence and liable, if convicted, to a maximum fine of $5,000 or imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both.
Interest on penalties
If you fail to pay an amount, we may apply interest from the day your payment was due. The interest rate we use is determined every three months, based on prescribed interest rates. Interest is compounded daily. We also apply interest to unpaid penalties. To get the prescribed interest rates, go to Prescribed interest rates.
Cancel or waive penalties and interest
The CRA administers legislation, commonly called the taxpayer relief provisions, that allows the CRA the discretion to cancel or waive penalties and interest when taxpayers cannot meet their tax obligations due to circumstances beyond their control.
The CRA’s discretion to grant relief is limited to any period that ended within 10 calendar years before the year in which a relief request is made.
For penalties, the CRA will consider your request only if it relates to a tax year or fiscal period ending in any of the 10 calendar years before the year in which you make your request. For example, your request made in 2024 must relate to a penalty for a tax year or fiscal period ending in 2014 or later.
For interest on a balance owing for any tax year or fiscal period, the CRA will consider only the amounts that accrued during the 10 calendar years before the year in which you make your request. For example, your request made in 2024 must relate to interest that accrued in 2014 or later.
Taxpayer relief requests can be made online using the CRA’s My Account, My Business Account (MyBA), or Represent a Client digital services:
- My Account: After signing in, select “Accounts and payments,” then “Request relief of penalties and interest.”
- MyBA or Represent a Client: After signing in, on the MyBA overview page, select the appropriate program from the navigation menu, then select the correct account. Finally, select “Request relief of penalties and interest” under the “Request” heading.
To make a request, fill out Form RC4288, Request for Taxpayer Relief – Cancel or Waive Penalties and Interest and send it with one of the following ways:
- online with My Account: select “Submit documents” under the “Correspondence” section
- online with MyBA or Represent a Client: select “Submit documents” from the banner at the top of the page
- by mail to the designated office, as shown on the last page of the form, based on your place of residence
For information on the "Submit Documents online" service, go to Submit documet online.
For more details on the required supporting documents, relief from penalties and interest, and other related forms and publications, go to Cancel or waive penalties and interest at the CRA.
Notice of assessment
