As a Quebec resident, can I claim massage therapy as a medical expense on my federal return? The massage therapist is licensed in Ontario.

I already have confirmation that I cannot claim this expense on my provincial return.

No, not as QC resident but if you lived in BC, NB, NL and ON, you can claim it federally.

See the list here from the CRA type in "massage"https://bit.ly/2nuFp8U

The CRA chart states that massage therapists are recognized in Ontario.  Does this also mean that you have to be an Ontario resident in order to claim this expense?

Yes, it is based on the province of residence.
