This is legit. The CRA has recently added a new feature it it’s website where you can see if you have any unclaimed cheques owed to you from the Government.
How to find yours:
You need a CRA online account to access this feature on their site. Log in or sign up for an account on the official Canada Revenue Agency’s website. Google “my cra account” or see the direct link here.
If you aren’t already signed up, it might take a week or so to verify your identity and receive your code in the mail. If you already have an account, sign in and follow the next step.
On the overview page on the right side you will see a list of “related services” – click on the link that says uncashed cheques.
That’s it! Maybe you have been missing money, maybe not – but worth the time to look. Unclaimed money will be dated as far back as 1998! Let us know in the comments if it worked for you.
