How much of my 20000 canadian dollar anual income as a student will be deducted as taxes in Alberta, Canada?

Question

I am from Lebanon, will be studying in Alberta, Canada starting August. I have 20000 USD scholarship funding from the university, how much of it will be deducted as taxes? and how much should I spend for the cost of living?

Answer 1

If the scholarship is from and Canadian source, and you are attending a Canadian university in the same year you receive it, then the scholarship is not subject to any tax.

The fact that you've said the scholarship is $20,000 USD leads me to believe that the scholarship is not from a Canadian source. Contact the International Tax Services Office and ask them your question (1-800-267-5177)
