Use the keyword CTC-Account to enter the Canada training credit limit (CTCL) at the beginning of the year. The Canada training credit is a refundable tax credit and will be available for eligible tuition and other fees paid for courses taken in 2021 and subsequent taxation years. The credit will be the lesser of the individual's Canada training credit limit for the taxation year, and half of the eligible tuition and fees paid to an eligible educational institution in respect of the year.
Starting in 2019, an individual can accumulate $250 in each year, up to a maximum of $5,000 in a lifetime if they satisfied all of the following conditions for the year: - file a tax return for the year;
- be at least 25 years old and under 65 years old at the end of the year;
- be resident in Canada throughout the year;
- have a total of $10,000 (1) or more of income (including income from an office or employment, self-employment income, employment insurance maternity and parental benefits or provincial parental insurance benefits, the taxable part of scholarship income and research grants, the tax-exempt part of earnings of status Indians and emergency service volunteers, and income under the Wage Earner Protection Program Act); and
- have individual net income for the year that does not exceed the top of the third tax bracket $173,205 (1).
(1)
Earning and income thresholds will be subject to annual indexation.
The Canada training credit limit will be communicated to you each year on your Notice of Assessment (NOA) and will be available through the CRA's My Account portal. Your 2025 NOA will indicate your Canada training credit limit for 2026 that may be used if you pay eligible tuition and fees for courses taken in 2026 and you wish to claim the Canada training credit on your 2026 income tax and benefit return in respect of those fees.
You cannot transfer any unused Canada training credit limit to another individual. Any balance at the end of the year you turn 65 will expire. Therefore, no determination of your Canada training credit limit will be made for any year following the year you turn 65.
You can however, where applicable, carry forward unused eligible tuition fees and expenses paid in respect of the year (net of the Canada training credit claimed that year), or transfer them to your spouse or common-law partner, parent or grandparent, for the purpose of the Tuition Tax Credit.

The taxpayer may be able to claim the Canada training credit starting with your 2021 income tax and benefit return, for eligible tuition and fees paid for courses taken in 2021.
You can claim the Canada training credit for a taxation year if you satisfy all the following conditions: - you file an income tax and benefit return for the year;
- your Canada training credit limit for the year is greater than zero;
- you are resident in Canada throughout the year;
- tuition or fees are paid to an eligible educational institution in respect of the year; and
- the tuition and fees are otherwise eligible for the existing tuition tax credit.
Note that individuals under the age of 26 or over the age of 65 at the end of a year have a Canada training credit limit of zero and thus cannot claim the Canada training credit for tuition and fees incurred in respect of that year.
The Canada training credit claimed on your income tax and benefit return will reduce your tax owing. If the credit is more than your tax owing, you will get a refund for the difference.
