SIN Requirement
Social Insurance Number (SIN) now required for student tax forms
Why does VCC need my Social Insurance Number (SIN)?
Starting in the 2019 tax year, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requires all post-secondary institutions to collect Social Insurance Numbers (SIN) for Tuition and Enrolment Certificate (T2202) tax forms (formerly T2202A).
VCC issues T2202 forms in late February each year. Students may download their tax forms by logging into myVCC.
To ensure your T2202 form is successfully issued, please submit your SIN by updating your personal information on myVCC or via this secure, online form:
Please do not email your SIN.
For more information about tuition and education tax credits, see the latest CRA update.
