Whether you are new to Canada and trying to make your way, or are a Canadian resident wondering about housing options for the future, you are likely thinking about costs. The cost of living is high and we need to find ways we can stretch our dollars to where they need to go. We all have things to learn when it comes to managing our personal finances, and even more so as life circumstances change.

In November, we celebrate Financial Literacy Month by inviting organizations across Canada to come together to talk about personal finances, and how to manage different aspects of them. It is not always easy to know where we can get help to manage our money or to understand what mechanisms are out there for us. This November, help us get that conversation going.

Millions of Canadians file their income tax and benefit returns every year. For the 2022 tax-filing season, Canadians filed approximately 31 million returns and 92% of them were filed electronically. Also, there were over 17 million refunds processed, resulting in a total amount of $37 billion!

We know that having the information you need on hand makes filing easier. Below, you’ll find what you need to know for this year, including what’s new.

Did you know that some Canadians are entitled to benefits and credits but they don’t know that they are? You may be leaving money on the table by not filing your income tax and benefit return.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) wants you to receive the benefits and credits you’re entitled to. We use the information from your tax return to calculate your benefit and credit payments.

The only way to find out what you are missing is by filing!
