Federal Foreign Tax Credits - Form T2209 Lines 40500 & 43100

[tikiwong]

In Year 2023 I held some US stocks and received US$1940.00 dividends (net) and paid US$213.88 US (per T5) Withholding taxes. In my almost filled up tax return, I got $106.94 Federal Foreign Tax Credit.

Per instructions, I would obtain the $106.94 figure if I fill up Form 2209. Trying to do this and discovered that the figure of $106.94 was already filled out under Line 43100 in Form T2209 in my almost filled up return. 

It seems that there circular references (Form T2209, Lines 40500 & 43100, etc.) on how to calculate/obtain the figure of $106.94, which is still a mystery on how to calculate this figure (of Federal Foreign Tax Credit) in the first place. Please help.
