I was informed that I have to file a tax return as an International Student. I read a lot about it but still don't fully understand how it works. I am currently not working but currently going into my second semester. Can someone with experience break it down for me? much appreciated. Thank You

You file a tax return even if you haven’t worked so the Government can advise you if you’re eligible for any credits and or benefits . Example; GST/HST ,Carbon Tax Rebate , Provincial Rebates.

Okay. If am eligible how does these credit and benefits work? What do they do for me? I thought it was a situation where you get cash back.
