The Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all Canadian post-secondary institutions to collect students’ Social Insurance Numbers (SINs) on the T2202 Education and Enrollment Certificate.

If you have a SIN you will be asked to provide this when confirming your acceptance to a program 

Or

You can upload your SIN via your Student Portal

Once uploaded we will mask the SIN number so it is not visible to anyone at the Centre and it will also mask in your Portal.

If you do not have a SIN or chose not to provide a SIN your T2202 Tax Receipt will be issued with the SIN field blank. 

You must file a tax return if you are a "resident of Canada" for tax purposes and you earn income (receive a T4a) and owe tax .
