Mexico - Canada Taxes on alimony (support) from Mexican resident to Canadian resident

-----Hi there,

I was wondering if perhaps you might be able to help me on a question I am
having about taxes on alimony received from a Mexican resident?

CCRA has told me several different answers and I can't quite determine if my
mom's alimony (just for her...not child support) falls into Article 18 of
the Canada-Mexico Tax Treaty of 1991.

From what I can tell, any money she receives as alimony from her ex-husband
who is a Mexican resident is tax free?

Any help or insight you might have would be absolutely great!

Thanks for your time,
