Lead-e-phone,
I thought the problem has been solved quickly yesterday, unfortunately the discussion is still going on. Please read following paragraph carefully.
_____________________________________________
Individuals resident in Canada are subject to Canadian income tax on their worldwide income and are eligible for a potential credit or deduction for foreign taxes paid on income derived from foreign sources.
There are no specific Canadian tax rules for determining whether an individual is resident in Canada. Each case is decided on its own merits. By commencing long-term or permanent employment, acquiring a dwelling place, moving one’s family into the country, and establishing residential and social ties (such as acquiring bank accounts, club memberships, or a driver’s license), an individual may establish residence in Canada at a specified point in time. Residence is also established by virtue of the taxpayer’s intent to remain in Canada. Where residence is established by reference to particular events, individuals are taxed as resident for one part of the year and as non-residents for that part of the year that precedes residence. An individual may also be considered a deemed resident taxpayer if he/she is present in Canada for more than 183 days in a calendar year. As a deemed resident, the individual is subject to tax on his/her worldwide income. Tax relief may be available if the individual is also a resident of another country in which Canada has a tax treaty.

For your case, you lived in Canada in full 2012, and you were a resident in Canada in 2012 for tax purpose. Consequently you have to report world-wide income. However keep in mind that living expense payment by Chinese government is taxable, but scholarship that you still need to report though.
Hope it helps,
