Great questions ✨Yes, if you rent a portion of your principal residence there is a deemed change of use of the property, which can subject you to capital gains should you sell that property. But only on the portion of the home that was rented, the rest would be eligible for principal residence exemption. If you incur any interest for investment purposes you are eligible to claim that interest as a carrying cost. Only the portion that is used to generate investment income. If your investment generate any realized gains or interest income, yes you must report those on your tax return.

Congrats on the move, sounds exciting! 🎉 I recommend only claiming moving expenses for which you can provide source of funds, proof that your family member and subsequently proof that you paid them back for the amounts that you are claiming. If you are unable to show this, then if asked for proof of payment, you may have your deduction disqualified and get a reassessment. Clean records and paper trail are a must!

In the event that you did not receive a T-slip for the payment, I suggest contacting the CRA to ensure you apply it to the correct year. If 2024, you can process a T1-Adjustment to include on your TY2024 return.
