Can I utilize my tuition credits on my personal tax returns when I start to work?

Yes, absolutely.

If you have previously filed tax returns during school years, CRA should have issued you the notice of assessment stating the unused federal and provincial tuition amounts that were to be carry forwarded. When you start to generate income, these tax credits will be applied – meaning they will help you to reduce your taxes payable.
