But as what I know, depends you are an international student or an immigrant; and before you immigrated, you claimed this or not. Even gifted from relatives or others, it's still your income, might got auditing from CRA, and might be checked for money laudry(any amt more than $10,000 for international transfer and $3,000 for domestic transfer)." b6 g' P4 A' r3 o
Money was gifted internationally has special rules, might not pay any tax, but you must expain in your tax file. 3 K: M n( k; `! d# _* l" JDoes sb. works for CRA give a more clear explaination?
Tax base is not just salary, bonus....it also includes stock, property like vacation house money, gifts from others..., money from dead person's will....
It will be difficult for CRA to determine whether the money is from me or from my parents. If I claim that this is my own money in China, I don't think they should charge me any tax.

' p- z8 y' w' o1 Y& h3 D) B9 F# A其实也不是什么新点子,因为你的计划已经把加拿大的房屋投资的一个基本要点包括进去了,就是主要自住房屋升值不计税。不管对谁都一样,也就是说不管把房子赠送给父母,子女还是朋友,只要这个房子被他们认定为主要自住房屋(要知道每个家庭只能认定一套房子),升值都不用计税。然后你当然还要能确保他们把卖房子的钱原封不动的回赠给你,这种安排就没有问题。 2 ?; l2 ~- R% p所谓“Rental Deemed to be Principal Residence"只是对上述原则的一个补充。它为那些因为种种原因把自己的房子租出去,自家却住在别处的人提供了四年的额外主要自住房屋认定期。或者给有两套房子以上的人一个为期四年的选择机会,即选择到底把那一套房来作为自己的主要自住房屋。不管怎么说,一家人只能有一套“主要自住房屋”。
