Tax return for international student

[jykl608]

Hello,

I am living in BC, Canada on a study permit.

I have worked as a contractor last year and kept all my invoices (online) copies.

Should I file for tax return? Will I have to pay taxes on the money that I made as a contractor?

Thank you

You might have to pay tax but there are other benefits of filing income tax return. You could submit your NOA while applying for PR. You might also receive GST credit.

If you are a student, its always a good idea to file a return even if you have no income. You might receive a refund from the CRA.
