The standard Canadian moving-expense test requires the new residence to be at least 40 kilometres closer to the new work or business location than the old residence was. Option D states the relevant threshold. Options A, B, and C understate the distance requirement. In a planning context, the distance test is only the starting point. The planner should also consider whether the move relates to eligible employment or business income, whether expenses are reasonable and properly documented, whether reimbursement was received from an employer, and whether expenses are deductible only against income from the new work location. The deduction can matter when clients change jobs, relocate for self-employment, or move for post-secondary attendance in specific circumstances. The key exam distinction is that the rule is not based on the total distance moved; it compares how much closer the new home is to the new workplace. References/topics:

William should claim the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, while Jennifer should first use her unused capital losses. The planning issue is not whether both shareholders own qualifying Canadian-controlled private corporation shares; they do. The deciding fact is Jennifer's unused capital losses. In the personal tax calculation, capital losses are applied against taxable capital gains before the capital gains deduction is used.
If Jennifer has available losses, claiming the LCGE may waste exemption room or fail to deliver the intended tax result because the losses already shelter some or all of her taxable capital gain. William has no stated capital-loss pool, so his large gain is the clean use of the exemption. Options that split the exemption or have Jennifer claim it ignore the ordering rules and the clue in the facts. The planner should coordinate the transaction with tax counsel and confirm QSBC eligibility, CNIL effects, and each spouse's remaining exemption room. Study Guide focus: qualified small business corporation shares, capital gains deduction, net capital losses, and LCGE planning.

Wendy cannot treat Rob's request as routine order taking. He wants to liquidate $55,000 of GICs and buy a single gold stock based on a friend's expectation of appreciation, while he has a spouse, three young children, and no prior stock-purchasing experience. That is a major change in risk, concentration, liquidity, and suitability. The correct professional response is to review his risk tolerance, risk capacity, time horizon, objectives, investment knowledge, and financial circumstances before implementing or recommending the trade. Refusing the order outright may be unnecessary before analysis, while placing it without inquiry would ignore suitability obligations. Delaying and telling him to think about it is incomplete unless the planner completes the required review and documents the conversation. AFP conduct standards require the planner to slow the process when a proposed transaction conflicts with the known client profile. Study Guide focus:
KYC, suitability, concentration risk, unsolicited instructions, and professional duty of care.

A survivorship clause addresses the risk that spouses or beneficiaries die within a short period of each other.
The clause normally requires a beneficiary to survive the testator by a specified number of days before inheriting. Without such a clause, assets may pass through one estate and then almost immediately through another, increasing administration complexity, probate exposure, and possible distribution results that do not match the couple's intentions. A conversion clause is not the standard will clause for this issue. A life interest gives someone use or income from property for life, which is a different estate-planning tool. A successor designation may apply to certain registered or TFSA arrangements, but the will provision for near- simultaneous deaths is survivorship. Edward should advise the client to discuss survivorship wording with a lawyer because provincial legislation and drafting precision matter.
