Canada Training Credit

Launched in 2019, the Canada Training Credit (CTC) is a refundable tax credit. This credit will reduce the tax owed on your income tax return, and if it is higher than your amount owed, you’ll receive a refund for the difference.

The CTC is available for eligible tuition and other fees paid for courses taken in 2020 and subsequent tax years. It's accumulated at a rate of $250 per year, up to a lifetime limit of $5,000. 

If you’re a permanent resident of Canada aged 26 to 66 and meet all other Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) criteria (including meeting minimum working income and maximum net income conditions set for the tax year you’re claiming the credit for), you’re eligible to claim the CTC on your income tax return.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
