Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Lounsbury v. The Queen, 2019 TCC 109 (CanLII):
One must also consider that while a house constructed for use as a primary place of residence need not be so used immediately upon completion, it must be the intention at the time of construction to so use it within a reasonable period: see the decision of Justice Woods, as she then was, in Solanko v. The Queen. [11]
