You will be liable for duty on any gifts that are over CAD $60 in value. There are no exemptions for gifts.

I'm just highlighting it and am also adding

READ THE OFFICIAL WEBSITES

CBSA = Canadian Border Service Agency

and

CIC

Those websites will have everything anyone needs to know about paperwork needed and what is allowed to bring.
