  As a Canadian resident who trades cryptocurrencies, you are required to report your cryptocurrency transactions for tax purposes. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) treats cryptocurrencies as a commodity, and any gains or losses from trading them are subject to taxation. You must report your cryptocurrency trading activities on your annual income tax return. It is important to keep detailed records of your transactions, including the date, type of cryptocurrency, amount, and value at the time of the transaction. Consult with a tax professional or refer to the CRA guidelines for specific reporting requirements and any applicable deductions or exemptions.
