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 .

Your daily horoscope: January 4, 2026

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

It’s good that you are ambitious and it’s good that you know what you want to achieve but you must be flexible as to how you get from where you are now to where you most want to be. There’s more than one route to success.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you turn on the charm over the next few days there is no limit to what you can accomplish. Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart will make it easy for you to win round those who previously doubted your every move.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Don’t try to control what is going on around you, just sit back and enjoy the ride. There are so many influences working in your favor now that you cannot possibly do anything wrong. Listen to your heart and do exactly as it tells you.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If other people want to make a fuss over trivial matters that’s up to them but you are under no obligation to follow their example. While they moan and groan about how hard life is you will be gliding along without a care in the world.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

It’s okay to focus on matters of a practical nature but you must also make time for relationships, especially those of the romantic kind. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign makes this the ideal occasion to reach out from the heart.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You won’t be able to see too far ahead over the next few days, so focus instead on what is directly in front of you and let other people worry about the bigger picture. A step by step approach will eventually take you a very long way.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Identify your No. 1 goal and then go for it with every ounce of energy at your disposal. With so much going on in the most dynamic area of your chart you can and you must push yourself beyond previous limits. They no longer apply.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Venus, your ruler, joins forces with the sun and Mars over the next few days, making this the ideal time to let loved ones and family members know what they mean to you. Don’t just say the words, surprise them with a truly romantic gesture.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You may be wary of taking on extra responsibilities this week but if you do they won’t be as much of a chore as you feared. In fact, the harder you push yourself the more on top of your game you will be. You enjoy being challenged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you are planning a creative activity of some kind you must make sure you have the funds to give it a good go. Make that your first priority this week and don’t start work until you know the money isn’t going to run out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Whatever it is you are most passionate about in life that is what you should now be doing. With the sun, Venus and Mars joining forces in your sign this week this is your time of year – yes, already. It’s never too early to start winning.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Your ability to work out what people actually mean, as opposed to what they say, will come in handy this week. There will be no hiding from your razor sharp mind, nor will there be any forgiveness for those who try to deceive you.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Get out into the world and join forces with people who share your idealistic outlook on life. You don’t have to have exactly the same views and opinions but you do have to believe that your combined efforts can make a difference.
