Why did I receive a T4A slip?

By law, recipients of funding from the Bridging Educational Grant in Nursing (BEGIN) program are to be issued T4A information. This information is also reported to the Canada Revenue Agency. The T4A will outline the total funding issued during the calendar year. For information about Canadian income tax law please contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-8281 or visit www.cra-arc.gc.ca.
