thank you in advance for anyone replying this.
i'm new to the forum too so, Hi everyone

ok.. i'm just wondering if international students studying here in canada can get any taxes back? like from school fee (we pay like triple the amount of canadians do

), medical care card, the things we've shopped here (clothing, etc), or anything?
if yes, how does that work? is it something like once a year thing like canadians do?

thank you, really appreciate anyone replying

Do you pay taxes in Canada? If not, then there is nothing to get 'back', eh?

I'm talking INCOME tax.

If you are considered a resident of canada, you may be able to file a return and get GST/HST credit... I'll let you figure that out.
