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 $3,000 for domestic transfer).* r1 N9 E( s0 w0 f2 k- X1 J
Money was gifted internationally has special rules, might not pay any tax, but you must expain in your tax file.' _5 q. S) S$ b3 I5 y2 p
Does 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.

如果真要用税法来解释,其实这是个赠送Capital Assets的问题。加拿大税法规定,赠送Capital Assets,赠送人以市场合理价来计算Capital Gain 或者Capital Loss,受赠人也以市场合理价来确定Captial Assets的未来结算基准价。由于现金永远就是市场合理价,所以对于赠送人或受赠人来讲永远不会产生Capital gain 或者Capital loss, 也就是说不存在税收问题。
