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. The CRA sorts these into two speeds: Routine requests (filed online through your CRA My Account or certified tax software) have a service standard of just 2 weeks .

Historic Arrest: Sri Lanka’s Ex-President Wickremesinghe Remanded in State Funds Misuse Probe

                         Sri Lanka's former President Ranil Wickremesinghe arrives at the Magistrate’s Court in Colombo


Former Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, 76, has been arrested and remanded until August 26 over allegations of misusing state funds during his tenure. This marks the first time in the nation’s history that a former executive president has been taken into custody on such charges.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) alleges that Wickremesinghe used public money to cover expenses for a private trip to London in September 2023, where he attended a university event linked to his wife, Prof. Maithree Wickremesinghe. The visit reportedly coincided with his return from official duties in the United States.

Court proceedings at Colombo Fort Magistrate’s Court saw bail denied after prosecutors argued the investigation was ongoing and evidence was still being compiled. Following the ruling, Wickremesinghe was transferred to the prison hospital due to elevated blood sugar and blood pressure levels.

A veteran political figure who served as president from 2022 to 2024, Wickremesinghe is credited with steering Sri Lanka through its worst economic crisis in decades, though his tenure was marked by unpopular austerity measures. Allies from his United National Party have called the charges politically motivated, while government officials have yet to comment.

The case has sparked intense public debate, underscoring both the deep political divides in Sri Lanka and the growing scrutiny of leaders accused of corruption.
