How would I send tuition amount to my parents living outside of Canada

Hello,

I'd like to transfer tuition (from universities in Canada) to my parents but I just don't know how it will work since my parents are not living in Canada. I haven't seen any questions regarding this on my Turbotax tax filing page. Will there be further instruction from CRA on how to do it?

Thanks in advance

If your parents are filing a Canadian tax return for 2019, then you will be able to transfer the tuition amount to them. Otherwise, you have to claim the amount or carry it forward.
