The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has transitioned to electronic correspondence for some individuals and businesses. In these cases, CRA correspondence is now being delivered directly to your CRA online account only. CRA will no longer be sending this information via Canada Post.

- Notices of assessment and reassessment
- Tax letters and forms
- Benefit notices
