Thanks. Was wondering how this "new money" would affect a 2011 maxed out TFSA account but it appears that by classifying it as a stock dividend (STKDIV) it is simply a growth amount (dividend) not to be classified as new deposit money and therefore noy be seen by CRA as an overcontribution(which incidentally I got nailed with for 2010- had to pay an interest charge for the number of months the excess funds remained in the TFSA acct. Word to the wise, don't rely on your fin inst to monitor your TFSA limit for you especially if you are moving funds around)
