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 .

Charlie Kirk’s Killing Stirs Rare Cross-Party Mourning Among Gen Z

People attend a vigil at Orem City Center Park, after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during an event at Utah Valley University

The fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, has sent shockwaves through Gen Z communities across the political spectrum. Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA and a prominent ally of President Donald Trump, was killed during a campus event in Orem, Utah, in a public attack captured on multiple livestreams. The suspect remains at large, and the motive is still unknown.

While many young conservatives mourned the loss of a figure they saw as a bold voice for their generation, some young liberals also expressed sorrow — condemning the violence despite deep disagreements with his politics. “Regardless of who he is and what his beliefs are, nobody should die like that,” said Ama Baffour, a 20-year-old student at Howard University.

Kirk’s influence on Gen Z was amplified by his mastery of social media, where millions followed his debates, podcasts, and unfiltered videos. His death has sparked campus vigils, bipartisan statements rejecting political violence, and renewed debate over the role of divisive rhetoric in American life.

For many young Americans, the tragedy is a sobering reminder that political differences should be met with dialogue — not deadly force.
