New to Canada? Take steps to boost your tax literacy
In Canada, November is Financial Literacy Month — a month dedicated to helping people learn more about managing their personal finances. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is part of this effort and we believe that everyone deserves to feel empowered by understanding their taxes.

It’s not just about following the rules, it’s making sure that you are getting the government payments you’re entitled to.

We know that taxes can feel overwhelming and confusing. You’re not alone —many people feel the same way. Together, we can tackle the challenges and make the process simpler for you. Get started now with our first steps to tax literacy!
