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. What's Actually Happening When you need to change something on a tax return you've already filed — say you forgot a slip, need to update a deduction, or want to claim a credit you missed — you submit what's called a T1 adjustment request.

From Heatwave to Hoodie Weather: Ontario and Quebec Brace for a Sudden Chill

 

As August draws to a close, residents of Ontario and Quebec are set to experience a dramatic shift from summer’s lingering heat to an early taste of autumn. The culprit? A powerful atmospheric chain reaction sparked by Hurricane Erin’s journey across the Atlantic.

Meteorologists say Erin’s interaction with a secondary low from Greenland will lock a deep trough over the Great Lakes, steering a cold front through the region by Sunday. This front could bring thunderstorms before ushering in a crisp, dry air mass.

By Monday, daytime highs in Toronto are expected to hover in the low 20s — roughly 5°C below seasonal norms — while northern communities like Timmins could see highs of just 14°C and overnight lows in the single digits. The sudden cool-down over the still-warm Great Lakes may also trigger waterspouts and lake-effect showers.

Forecasters expect the unseasonably cool weather to linger into early September before temperatures rebound toward seasonal averages for the Labour Day weekend. For many, it’s a reminder that summer’s grip can loosen quickly — and that sweater season might arrive sooner than expected.
