Related questions
When is my T2202 available?
T2202’s are available on or after February 28 for the previous year, as long as you have submitted your SIN number to ¹û½´ÊÓƵ.
How do I provide my SIN number?
You can either enter your SIN number through your myOkanagan account (instructions below) or by bringing your SIN number to the office of the registrar or at the campus administration office.
Once you login:
- Click on self-service
- Personal information
View/update SIN
- A new page will open where you can enter or update your SIN number. Alternatively, you can visit the office of the registrar to update your information in person.
If ¹û½´ÊÓƵ already has your SIN number on file, you will see the following message:
I have provided my SIN number after Feb 28th, but it does not show up on my T2202A?A3: If you entered your SIN number after February 28th, you will need to wait until ¹û½´ÊÓƵ completes the changes. This process typically takes about a week after you have entered your SIN number."
What is a T4A? Does everyone get one?
Not everyone will receive a T4A. The T4A is a tax form issued for certain types of income. You will receive a T4A from ¹û½´ÊÓƵ if you have received a scholarship, award or bursary from ¹û½´ÊÓƵ.
Why is the amount on my T2202 less than the amount that I paid?
The total amount of tuition and fees paid may not match your T2202 because not all tuition and fees are eligible for a tax credit according to the Canada Revenue Agency.
For example, your student union fee, student association fees, health and dental fees and Canadian Federation of Student fees (CFS) are ineligible.
The T2202 is based on the calendar year (January – December), not the academic year (September – August) that the courses were taken.
Why do I need my SIN number on my T2202?
Effective the 2019 tax year, all post-secondary institutions must provide the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) with Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) on T2202 forms (Education and Textbook Amounts Certificate). ¹û½´ÊÓƵ produces T2202 forms for all students registered in eligible courses.
