Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about the capital gains tax regulations in Canada. I understand that selling a property after living in it for a certain period of time can avoid paying capital gains tax. Could you please clarify how long I need to live in a house to avoid paying this tax? Is there a specific duration or is it based on some other factors? Also, are there any exceptions to this rule? Thank you for your help.

This exemption allows homeowners to avoid paying capital gains on the profit made from their property, provided it is their primary residence.

The CRA's decision to not set a specific ownership duration reflects the agency's understanding of the dynamic nature of people's living situations.

Homeowners may move due to various reasons, such as job relocations, family changes, or personal preferences, without necessarily losing the exemption.
