If you don't claim it, I'd make sure you have all your travel receipts and expenses in case it comes back to bite you. RAWR! We won't have to worry about this until 2013 tax season anyways hun.

Hi Toni,
I just got off the phone with Revenue Canada. You DO NOT claim your grant as an income you deduct that amount from your medical expenses because as I said before and Revenue Canada verified it, it is NOT an income but a reimbursement of your expenses therefore you should not show it any where as any type of income. I hope that helps you if you have other questions here is the phone number and the answer that calls quickly and very helpful 1-800-959-8281.

Sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other, even if you don't know where you're going.
