Aweosme, thanks for that reply GoodHabits, I think it will just be a long conversation with my broker to make sure things are done right. I want to make sure shares can be added to my TFSA at the Rights purchase price and not the value they jump to after the exercise date. Cheers

You can buy and sell as you like with whatever you have inside your tfsa so there are no rules on that, otherwise it wouldn't be tax free. How can you have many questions with such a simple concept?

Your rights are in a non TFSA account. When you exercise them the shares go into the same account the rights are in. You can transfer shares in kind into a TFSA account but your brokerage will use the price they are trading at so you have to use that as the amount of contribution room you used up in the transaction. They have rules from CRA to determine what price is used to value them.
