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 . By phone or mail, the standard is 8 weeks. Complex requests — where the CRA needs more documentation or a deeper review — carry a service standard of 20 weeks .

Air Travel Chaos Deepens as FAA Orders More Cuts Amid Shutdown

Travelers walk though Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as the Trump administration warns of impending cuts to commercial airline operations more than a month into the continuing U.S. government shutdown in Arlington, Virginia, U.S., November 7, 2025. 

Major U.S. airlines are bracing for a third consecutive day of government-mandated flight reductions as the ongoing federal shutdown continues to cripple the nation’s air travel system. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered carriers to cut 4% of daily flights at 40 major airports, citing severe air traffic control staffing shortages caused by the shutdown.

The crisis escalated over the weekend, with more than 1,300 flights canceled on Saturday and thousands more delayed across major hubs including Atlanta, Chicago, Newark, and Los Angeles. The FAA has warned that reductions will increase to 6% on Tuesday and reach 10% by November 14, raising fears of widespread disruption just weeks before the busy Thanksgiving travel period.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy cautioned that air travel could be reduced to “a trickle” in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. Millions of Americans typically take to the skies during this period, but the prolonged shutdown—now in its 40th day, the longest in U.S. history—has left thousands of federal employees, including air traffic controllers, working without pay or unable to report for duty.

Airlines such as Delta, United, American, and Southwest have scrambled to adjust schedules, issue travel waivers, and rebook passengers. However, industry leaders warn that the situation is unsustainable, with mounting delays and cancellations threatening both traveler confidence and the economic health of the aviation sector.

For passengers, the advice is clear: expect disruptions, plan ahead, and remain flexible. With flight cuts set to intensify, the coming weeks may mark one of the most challenging travel seasons in recent memory.
