It is normal for your refund to come down once you claimed your tuition as you are not entitled to the Canada Workers Benefit when you are a student, therefore the software removes it making it look like you lost an amount which is not allowed as a student. The Canada Workers Benefit is automatically included when your income is low but removed when you are a student.
