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 .

Araqchi Warns West: Diplomacy, Not Pressure, Key to Resolving Nuclear Dispute

                                            Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi

At the United Nations, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi declared that Tehran will not yield to threats or coercion regarding its nuclear program, stressing that diplomacy remains the only viable path forward. His remarks come as Britain, France, and Germany (the E3) move to reimpose U.N. sanctions, accusing Iran of breaching the 2015 nuclear deal.

Araqchi emphasized that Iran has been “tested repeatedly” and will not respond to the “language of pressure and threat.” He is scheduled to meet European counterparts and U.N. nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi in New York this week to discuss possible solutions.

The E3 have offered to delay sanctions for six months if Iran restores access for inspectors, addresses concerns over enriched uranium, and resumes talks with the United States. However, if no agreement is reached by September 27, sanctions are set to automatically return, further straining Iran’s already fragile economy.

Despite mounting international pressure, Araqchi insisted that Tehran will take “appropriate measures” if diplomacy fails, underscoring the high stakes in the coming days as both sides weigh cooperation against confrontation.
