填在line
130的数字，按照guide应该只报超过3000的部分，不过你无所谓了，反正在line 256你又
把它扣掉了. 然后line 256 specify:
Scholarship/bursary from XXXX Univ,
tax-free portion, per article 19, Canada-China Treaty
写不下就画个箭头写在旁边的空白处
这是俺老人家当年亲赴税务局argue的时候一胖子叔叔告诉我的
顺便，B4找收费代理报税的，跟找中介移民的同罪

generally speaking, the amount of ur scholarship is paid after-tax. so,

发帖数: 34805 | 3 As an international student and non-PR, you are absolutely tax-free.
You may have to pay EI and union fee etc, though, which are non tax
exempt. There's a treaty between Canada and China, I remember it's
article 9 or something. Just put that on your tax form.

发帖数: 714 | 4 that's nonsense, the treaty is to prevent double tax.
the rule is, if you live in canada for more than 183 days per year, you must
pay tax.
say a student gets 20000 scholarship, he can immediately get 11000 tax
exempted, as i explained,
then, he gets a portion of 4800 tax credit for paying tuition, then the total
taxable amount is only
= 20000-4800-11000.
this will make him pay as little as $100 taxes... then it seems it's almost
nothing, but indeed, he DID pay taxes!
so never ever tell anyone t

发帖数: 34805 | 5 I beg to differ. Maybe it's you who is talking nonsense.
I couldn't find an English copy for this treaty, but the Chinese one
shouldn't matter.

I guess scholarship should be well qualified?
Actually I was paid around 18k/y during my stay in UofA, and all my
tuition credits were carried over, I never had to use it.
You can claim tax
