File your income taxes with the Canada Revenue Agency. The deadline for filing taxes is April 30, 2023. You can do these yourself either online (Turbotax for example) or pick up an income tax package, fill it out, and mail it in. Or you can have an accountant company do it for you.
You will receive your Notice of Assessment after you file your taxes. You will receive this either by mail or digitally to your online account at Canada.ca if you have created an account.
Once you have received your Notice of Assessment, you will have to submit that to the Housing Coordinator for review. The deadline for this is June 15, 2023.
