Unused Canadian tuition amounts on becoming non-resident

Post by aardvarkzki »

Hi, I have a question regarding accumulated unused tuition/education amounts.

I am a Canadian about to become a tax non-resident of Canada and a tax resident of the US. I have unused Canadian tuition/education amounts (on Schedule 11) that I have been accumulating during my time as a student. What will happen to these tax credits on becoming a non-resident of Canada? I ask because I might at some time return to Canada to work, and they would be handy then.

Thank you for your help,

Karl

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
