    I am making the assumption you are transferring "n" shares of a stock from a non-registered account to a TFSA account.

    I would "sell" "n" shares from my brokerage account at whatever market price your broker assigned to the transfer. That will get the ACB right. The "cash" goes to the brokerage account or to the TFSA account, your choice. Then I would "buy" "n" shares in the TFSA account using the cash from whichever account you settled the "sell" in.

    Thank you.  I hadn't realized that I could direct the 'cash' to somewhere other than the account in question when doing a transaction.
