MITT Strategic Plan 2022 - 2027T2202 Tuition and Education Tax Credit Receipt
Each February, MITT prepares T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificates for the previous tax year.
As per Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requirements, students may be eligible for the education tax credit for the:
- Amount of eligible tax deductible tuition and fees paid. For more information, visit Eligible Tuition Fees and Amounts Which Cannot Be Claimed As Tuition Fees
- Number of months of eligible part-time or full-time enrolment/registration
Important notes:
- The CRA determines which programs are eligible for inclusion on a T2202.
- Your T2202 will be produced using your student information on file. You are responsible for entering your Social Insurance Number and updating your contact information via your Student Portal Account.
- If you have outstanding tuition, you may not qualify to receive a T2202 until additional payments are made.
- Full details concerning the Tuition and Education Tax Credit may be found in the Canada Revenue Agency's Personal Income Tax Guide.
- If your T2202 is not available in your Student Portal Account at the end of February, please contact finance@mitt.ca. Be sure to provide your student ID and full name in the email.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Where do I find my T2202 and when will it be available?
Electronic copies are made available to current and former students through their Student Portal Account, no later than the end of February. These forms will not be mailed.
2. What if the address on my T2202 is incorrect, do I need a new T2202?
You do not need a new T2202. You may use the T2202 information as received even if your address is incorrect. According to CRA, it is not necessary for students to submit the T2202 form with the income tax return, unless CRA requests it.

4. I did not enter my Social Insurance Number (SIN) in my Student Portal Account. How do I get a copy of my T2202 with my SIN on it?
For security reasons, the only way to update your SIN is through your Student Portal Account. MITT staff cannot add or update your SIN for you. Please do not send us your SIN by email.
Once you've entered your SIN in your Student Portal Account, request an updated version of your T2202 by submitting a completed Document Request Form. Be sure to include a note on the Document Request Form that your SIN was missing from the original T2202. A fee will be charged.
5. Who is eligible to receive a T2202?
T2202 certificates are issued to students who:
- are 16 years of age of older
- have paid a minimum of $100 toward tuition fees, in a taxation year
- have attended a program for a minimum of 3 consecutive weeks and at least 12 hours per month
- have enrolled in the educational institution to obtain skills for, or improve the student's skills in, an occupation.
Some programs may not be eligible. Contact the CRA for further details.
6. Why is the amount on my tax receipt not equal to the tuition I paid for the year?
Your tax receipt is based on the dates you attended MITT, and not when you paid your tuition. For example, if you paid in 2021 for classes that started in 2022, you will only receive a T2202 for the 2022 tax year.
If you attended MITT over multiple tax years, your tuition amount is spread over both years based on the number of days/months attended in each year. You will have a T2202 tax form for each calendar year you attended courses, with a portion of the tuition amount on one form and the balance on the other.
Your application and infrastructure/technology fees are included on the tax receipt in the year that you started your program.
7. What fees are eligible to be included in my T2202 tuition amount?
The following fees are included:
- Tuition fees
- Infrastructure/technology fees
- Application fees (only if you later enrol in the institution)
- Examination fees (some restriction applies)
8. Are there amounts that cannot be claimed as tuition fees?
Yes, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has a list of amounts that cannot be claimed as tuition fees. Visit: Amounts which cannot be claimed as tuition fees
9. What should I do if I still have questions?
Please contact us by email at finance@mitt.ca. Be sure to provide your student ID and full name in your email.
