Hi David -
I sure would appreciate your opinion on this one.
I am a Canadian student at a community college (not a university) in the U.S. My visa status is F-1. I am working towards an Associate degree, not a Bachelor's degree.
Can I deduct my tuition fees on my Canadian income tax? Form TL11A is titled "Tuition and Education Amounts Certificate - University Outside Canada" and I sure hope that it applies to me even though I am at a community college.
The other form - TL11D - is for a deemed resident of Canada, and seems to include both universities and colleges. Would I be considered a "deemed resident"? I am away for a few years but will be returning to Canada at the end of my course.
There has to be some way that I can claim $8000 of tuition fees against my Canadian income!
Thanks for your help!
