We came across a detailed article, “How to Gift Money to a Family Member or Friend in Canada” which answers many common questions about the practice of giving or receiving money.

Topics such as restrictions on gifting, the amount you can gift, potential taxes, important differences between Canada and the U.S., as well as the differences involved in gifting through a Will are discussed. We hope you find the information valuable and please consult a tax professional before taking any actions.
We appreciate your referrals. Thank you.
