If you refinance a mortgage to use the extra funds for other purposes that for that rental property, then you cannot claim all the interest expense from the mortgage towards the rental expense on that property. You can only apportion the ammount.
It doesn't really matter what you use the funds for. Of course, if you buy additional Cdn rental property (it must be Cdn property), then the portion of interest you pay can go towards the rental expenses of the new property.

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
