In an email statement, the CRA stated that it issues millions of payments to taxpayers every year, either refunds or benefits. As of March 31 this year, the CRA held around 10.2 million uncashed cheques, worth an astounding $1.7 billion. "To help Canadians reclaim uncashed payments, the CRA launched a feature in February 2020 that allows individuals to view their uncashed cheques through their secure My Account portal," stated the representative. How can you request payment of uncashed cheques? "Since the initiative was launched, Canadians have reclaimed approximately 4.5 million uncashed cheques valued at $1.6 billion as of March 2025," stated the representative.
