487.3. A person, other than a corporation resident in Canada, or a partnership, other than a partnership every member of which is such a corporation, is deemed to receive a benefit in a taxation year equal to the amount computed under section 487.4, where the person or partnership contracts a debt with a corporation by virtue of the fact that the person or partnership is a shareholder of the corporation, is connected with a shareholder of the corporation or is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that is such a shareholder.
The same rule applies where the person or partnership contracts a debt with a corporation related to the corporation or with a partnership of which the corporation or a corporation related to it is a member.
For the purposes of this section, a person or a partnership is connected with a shareholder of a corporation if that person or partnership does not deal at arm’s length with, or is affiliated with, the shareholder, unless, in the case of a person, that person is a foreign affiliate of the corporation or of a person resident in Canada with which the corporation does not deal at arm’s length.
