CRA Tax Adjustment Delays Now Stretch Up to 47 Weeks — Here's How to Avoid Getting Stuck

   July 12, 2026   If you've ever filed a request to correct or update your tax return and then waited... and waited... you're not imagining it. Canada's Taxpayers' Ombudsperson has confirmed that some Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) adjustment requests are now taking nearly a year to process — and it's launched a formal investigation into why.

Alaska Summit to Tackle Ukraine War and Unlock Russia–U.S. Economic Potential

In a high-stakes meeting set for Friday in Alaska, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will explore what the Kremlin calls the “huge untapped potential” of Russia–U.S. economic relations, alongside urgent talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the summit will begin with a one-on-one session between the leaders, followed by broader discussions with senior officials from both sides. The agenda is expected to center on Ukraine, but will also cover wider security issues and opportunities for trade and investment.

This marks the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since June 2021, and comes as Washington pushes for a resolution to the 3½-year-old conflict. Ushakov emphasized that while the war will dominate the talks, both nations are keen to explore new avenues for economic cooperation that have so far remained largely untapped.

The outcome of the Alaska summit could shape not only the trajectory of the Ukraine conflict but also the future of bilateral economic ties between two of the world’s most influential powers.
