From CAR 1988 Part 1 interpretation:
cross-country flight time means flight time during which the pilot of an aircraft applies a particular method to determine the aircraft’s position and course by geometry, topography or radio navigation aids while the aircraft is flying along a route segment.
cross-country training means flight for the purpose of practising the navigation sequences set out in a syllabus.
From CAO 40.2.1 (Instrument Rating) para 2.1
cross-country means flight for the purpose of either visual or radio navigation. This may constitute either a single leg to a destination other than the point of departure or a number of sectors terminating at either the point of departure or another destination.
It's all in there man, you just gotta know where to find it......
Hope it helps.
