Note
If you have not lived in a prescribed zone for continuous periods of at least six consecutive months at the time you file your return, you do not yet qualify. File your return without making the claim. When you qualify, you can ask us to adjust your return. To do so, follow the instructions at How to change your return.
Supporting documents
Supporting documents can include travel receipts, rent receipts, statements from your landlord, municipal taxes bill, and utility bills.
Filing electronically
If you are filing electronically, keep all your supporting documents in case we ask to see them later.
Filing a paper return
If you are filing a paper return, attach your completed Form T2222, but do not attach your supporting documents. Keep all your documents in case we ask to see them later.
