Thanks Hobbes. Makes sense about it being a gift. Or it could have been that they could not provide evidence of the purchase price. Not sure of the scenario. I was told it was a rush sale. I am sure they will be able to get a refund when they file their returns at the end of the year for the...

Thanks hobbes. Will call CRA to clarify. Does anyone have an answer to the following question: 2. If I need to pay taxes in Canada, what is the basis for the value of the house? I have read that the base value of the house is the value when I became a "resident". Is that the date I originally...

Thanks for the reply Hobbes. Useful information. On question 4: I answered No on the basis of the following definition I saw on TurboTax. Foreign Property - definition Foreign Property is property you owned outside of Canada, and your share of foreign property in which you had an interest. It...

cn_nikki Where are the requirements surrounding this listed? I wonder why there is a need to notarize, what would the notary certify? Can you evaluate to Canadian dollar on your own? or does it need to be done by a notary?

I went to Dr. Dharmavathy Jegatheeswaran. Good doctor. Got appointment a week out. I had called other doctors and this was the fastest appointment I could get. However they took 19 days for uploading medicals. You could probably get a later appointment at another Toronto doctor who uploads...
