What's the difference between a T2202, T4A and T4 form?

• T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificate
  An official tax receipt that summarizes eligible tuition, fees, and months of study for qualifying courses during a calendar year.
• T4A Statement of Pension, Retirement, Annuity, and Other Income
  If you received financial assistance from Camosun in the form of a grant, bursary or award, a T4A for tax purposes will be issued to you for the cumulative amount. This may include, but not limited to, Adult Upgrading Grants (AUG), bursaries, scholarships, or other awards received through the College within the tax (calendar) year. Amounts on T4As are considered "other income."
• T4 Statement of Remuneration Paid
  A T4 is issued by an employer to employees for employment income they earned in the calendar year.
