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.

Ukrainian drone attacks overnight have struck key Russian energy infrastructure, forcing a 50% capacity cut at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and sparking a major fire at Novatek’s Ust-Luga fuel export terminal.

Russian officials said air defences intercepted a drone near the Kursk plant, damaging an auxiliary transformer at reactor No. 3. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, with no injuries reported and radiation levels remaining normal.

In Russia’s Leningrad region, debris from downed drones ignited a blaze at the Ust-Luga terminal — a major Baltic Sea hub for processing and exporting fuel products. Emergency crews contained the fire, and no casualties were reported.

Moscow claimed its forces destroyed 95 Ukrainian drones across 13 regions overnight, while flights at several airports, including St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo, were temporarily halted due to the attacks.

Kyiv has not commented on the latest strikes but has previously said such operations target infrastructure critical to Russia’s war effort.
