Ok Pete Daoust, since I am still working on "catching up" with old threads as well as trying to keep up with current ones.... I have come back to this one with a question.

In my mortgage, I signed a page that states an oath that " The deponent(s) is/are 19 years of age or older and is/are resident(s) in Canada under the Income Tax Act (Canada)."

When I go through the Income Tax Act online, and I try to find a definition for "resident" I cannot find one. I also can't find a definition for Canada.

In the Interpretations Act, Canada is:

� Canada �

�Canada�, for greater certainty, includes the internal waters of Canada and the territorial sea of Canada;

Maxim on includes - is the exclusion of all else right?

Does this mean that Canada is only water and that I have sworn an oath that I am a "resident" of water?
