Cost amount is usually the acquisition cost of the property. If you immigrate to Canada, the cost amount is the fair market value (FMV) of the property at the time of immigration. If you got specified foreign property as a gift, or inheritance, the cost amount is its FMV at the time of the gift or inheritance.
The maximum cost amount during the year can be based on the maximum month-end cost amount during the year.
