T2202 Tuition Tax Receipts
What is a T2202?
A T2202 is the official Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) slip used to claim your tuition tax credit.
It shows the eligible training you completed in a calendar year that the CRA allows students to claim on their taxes.
If you trained for CPL in 2025, your eligible hours go on your 2025 T2202.
📌 You use this slip when filing your personal Canadian tax return.
