Most Canadians have to fill out their return and send it to the Canada Revenue Agency no later than April 30.
Even if you had no income in the year, you have to do your taxes to get the benefits and credits you might be entitled to, such as the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit and the working income tax benefit.

An Individual Tax Number (ITN)
is a unique number that Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) uses to identify you for tax purposes if you aren’t eligible for a Social Insurance Number (SIN) (e.g., because you don’t have a study permit allowing you to work).

Generally 4 – 6 weeks (sometimes longer)
In addition to the application form, you’ll need to submit:
