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 or US funds a flat rate of $23 per meal, to a maximum of $69 per day (sales tax included) per person, without receipts. Although you do not need to keep detailed receipts for actual expenses if you choose to use this method, the CRA may still ask you to provide some documentation to support your claim.

CRA rules on medical travel
Firstly, you will need proof that you attended the medical service you needed. You can provide receipts for the services you’ve received or a document or letter signed by the provider of the medical service.

You cannot claim medical travel expenses if you travelled less than 40 kilometres in one direction to receive medical attention.

If you travelled more than 40, but less than 80 kilometres one way, you will be able to claim medical travel, and if you travelled more than 80 kilometres, you will be able to claim mileage, as well as accommodation, meal and parking costs.

You will also be able to claim travel expenses if you had to receive medical care outside of Canada.

If a medical practitioner certifies that you needed to be accompanied to receive medical attention, you will be able to claim the expenses of the attendant.

You will only be able to claim medical expenses for which you have not, and will not be reimbursed. If medical reimbursement has been included in your income (ergo, it will be taxed) you will be able to claim your medical travel expenses.
