If I am a first time home buyer and bought a new construction condo in downtown Toronto in February 2008, what Government credits would be available for me? The preconstruction condo tentatively has occupancy slated for 2012.

I already took advantage of the RRSP home buyer's plan to withdraw $25k for downpayment.
What about other things like: First time home buyers' tax credit, GST new housing rebate and land transfer tax rebates?

would i be able to take advantage of any of these at the moment?
 
You should be able to take advantage of all of those when the condo closes (meaning you get your mortgage, not when you get possession), but it's not like you get a cheque. The rebates will simply lower your closing costs. The first time home buyers' tax credit may or may not still exist in 2012/13 while the other two will almost certainly still exist.
