Article 15 is the key paragraph in that agreement between Canada and China.
The last line states very clearly ..
"Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, remuneration in respect of an employment exercised aboard a ship or aircraft operated in international traffic by an enterprise of a Contracting State, shall be taxable only in that Contracting State."
A tax receipt from the Chinese will make no difference in your taxes. CRA will not tax you one cent either way..
This agreement is presently 'under negotiation', as are many agreements. As such, that 'CRA tax exempt' status could change as it did a few years back with South Korea. But CRA will most likely give some notice so you can prepare for a possible change in your taxation liability. At that point, that receipt from the Chinese will be very, very, important.
