Yikes,that sounds like a easy way to sink a lot of effort into something totally useless. With how mercurial the government can be with those credits it's better to do the work you need first and think about how to frame it for filing after.

If you work for a tech company in Canada it's likely that a substantial part of your salary is made up of sred refundable credits.
