Meal expenses  If you choose the detailed method to calculate meal expenses, you must keep your receipts and claim the actual amount that you spent. 

If you choose the simplified method, claim in Canadian funds a flat rate of $23/meal, to a maximum of $69/day (sales tax included) per person, without receipts.

Eligible expenses: To quickly find out whether an expense is eligible, type your expense in the filter items box in the Canada Revenue Agency’s search tool. You can also view a list of common medical expenses and their eligibility. More about    What medical expenses can I claim?   you can find in our TurboTax article 

Vehicle expense

If you choose the detailed method to calculate vehicle expenses, you must keep all receipts and records for the vehicle expenses you incurred during the 12-month period you choose for medical expenses.

Vehicle expenses include:

• operating expenses such as fuel, oil, tires, license fees, insurance, maintenance, and repairs
• ownership expenses such as depreciation, provincial tax, and finance charges.
• Although you do not need to keep detailed receipts for actual expenses if you choose to use the simplified method, we may still ask you to provide some documentation to support your claim. Keep track of the number of kilometres driven during the tax year for your trips relating to moving expenses and northern residents deductions, or the 12-month period you choose for medical expenses. To determine the amount you can claim for vehicle expenses, multiply the number of kilometers by the cents/km rate from the chart below for the province or territory in which the travel begins. For New Brunswick 50.5 cents / km. Related information in the link  Meal and vehicle rates
