Quick tips

  • You can view slips filed by your employer or payer in CRA My Account — usually within a few days of the February 28 deadline.
  • If you received this slip but haven't filed your return, the income is still taxable. File using your own records if the slip is late.
  • Keep your slips for at least 6 years — CRA can reassess that far back.
  • T3 slips from mutual funds and ETFs often arrive in mid-March or later. Don't file before you have them all.
