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.

Autumn’s Arrival: What the New Season Brings This Monday

 

As summer fades, fall officially begins on Monday, September 22, 2025, at 2:19 p.m. EDT, marked by the autumnal equinox. While the season is often associated with cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice, and brilliant foliage, there are a few key changes worth noting as we transition into autumn.

1. Shorter Days Ahead

From the first day of fall to the start of winter, daylight hours shrink dramatically. In Toronto, for example, the day length drops from just over 12 hours in late September to only about 9.5 hours by December. Expect darker mornings and earlier sunsets as the weeks roll on.

2. Clocks “Fall Back”

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2, when clocks are set back one hour. While the shift gives us an extra hour of sleep, it also means evenings will feel much darker, which can affect mood and energy levels.

3. Temperatures Take a Tumble

Autumn is a transitional season, and the cooling trend is steep. In Edmonton, average highs drop by more than 20°C between September and December. Toronto and Halifax also see sharp declines, reminding us that winter is just around the corner.


Whether you’re excited for crisp air and colorful leaves or already dreading the cold, fall is here to stay. Time to bundle up, reset your clocks, and enjoy the fleeting beauty of the season.
