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.

Canada Swelters Under Widespread Heat Warnings

 

This latest bout of sweltering temperatures marks the sixth time the Greater Toronto Area has been under a heat warning this year.

A wave of intense heat and humidity has gripped large swaths of Canada, prompting Environment Canada to issue heat warnings across Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces, and parts of British Columbia.

Southern Ontario is experiencing some of the most punishing conditions, with daytime highs soaring to 35°C and humidex values nearing a stifling 40°C. The Greater Toronto Area is under its sixth heat warning of the year, with overnight temperatures lingering in the low 20s, offering little relief.

Quebec and the Atlantic provinces—including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador—are also under advisories, with humidex values expected to reach up to 42°C in some areas. In British Columbia, heat warnings are in effect for Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, and southern regions like the Fraser Canyon and South Okanagan.

Environment Canada urges residents to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those without access to air conditioning, are especially at risk.

With the heat expected to persist into midweek in some regions, officials recommend checking on neighbours and loved ones and seeking out cooling centers where available.
