can i claim work related expenses like tools, work clothes etc?

You cannot deduct the cost of travel to and from work or other expenses, such as most tools and clothing. These expenses are personal. You deduct most of your allowable employment expenses on line 22900 of your income tax and benefit return . Employment Expenses 2024 - Canada.ca

Only if you are a tradesperson, then you can. The CRA allows tradespeople to deduct a portion of the cost of tools and associated equipment purchased for work. if you wear a specific uniform, protective or occupation-specific clothing, you may be able to claim purchase and cleaning costs for these items
