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.

A Transfer Too Fast? Inside the Ryan Wedding Handover

Canadian fugitive Ryan Wedding, a former Olympic snowboarder turned alleged drug kingpin, is escorted from a plane by FBI agents in Ontario, Calif., on Friday. Wedding surrendered himself at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City Thursday night.

Observers noted that the handover appeared to bypass the lengthy legal steps usually required when transferring a detainee between the two countries. The speed of the operation has led to speculation about whether informal negotiations or exceptional cooperation played a role behind the scenes.

Officials in both nations have emphasized that the transfer was lawful and coordinated, pointing to longstanding charges against Wedding related to drug trafficking and violent crime. Still, the abrupt nature of the move has raised questions about transparency, due process, and what this case might signal for future U.S.–Mexico law‑enforcement collaboration.
