FREE INCOME TAX CLINICS

International Students Services Organization (ISSO) has been supporting the Canada Revenue Agency in administering taxes by helping the most vulnerable sectors in the community to file their annual income tax. ISSO has been hosting free Income Tax Clinics every year since 2011. The Clinics are offered between February and April of each year in various locations in Ottawa and other cities.

These clinics are available to eligible clients by appointment only.

Trained CVITP Volunteers, organized through the Canada Revenue Agency's Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), will prepare basic income tax returns for individuals with low income and/or for those who meet other qualifying criteria.

Note: Accessibility may not available at the venue. Please check while you book an appointment.
