The answers I received were basically no, that the concept of a gift in both civil and common law in Canada involves two separate persons -- the donor and the donee. To quote one item I was pointed at: "No consideration or quid pro quo, even of an indirect nature, may be received by the donor, or it will not be deemed a gift." which pretty much excludes the ability to give yourself a gift in the legal sense.

Interesting thank you for you input. And translation of Canadian law. :-)
