Not actually the case, but you need to fight CRA to get it. I filed an appeal on moving costs back to Canada to get a job being disallowed. I was told by the lawyer representing CRA a number of others filed similar appeals. Prior to the cases being heard in Federal Court the lawyer directed in writing CRA to allow the deductions as the Income Tax Act was not clear on this CRA policy. (As an aside the CRA employees involved were furious and dragged their feet for over a year and a half on giving me my refund, saying their lawyer was wrong. Finally I started to re-open the case in Federal Court which got another CRA lawyer involved who convinced the obstinate CRA employees to give me the refund.)
