TL11A: Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, University Outside Canada

What is TL11A?

TL11A, Tuition and Enrolment Certificate, University Outside Canada, is a Canada Revenue Agency form completed by a university outside Canada for a student in full-time attendance in a course leading to a degree. The university certifies the eligible tuition fees paid and the months of enrolment, which the student uses to claim the tuition tax credit on a Canadian income tax return. The eligibility conditions are set out in the CRA guidance.
