Take the 2-minute tour ×  A friend of mine did not cash her
refund cheque from last year as she moved away and forgot to
change her address. What is the method for retrieving that
refund from the CRA? Would it be possible for them to issue a
new cheque or is there a time limit for collecting the refund?

down vote accepted  Cheques issued by Canadian Government
agencies do not expire. Any financial institution one has a
relationship with should be willing to cash the cheque.  Update:
If she does not have the cheque she should contact her nearest
CRA office about canceling the original and re-issuing another.
Specifically in that order, since she would want to avoid this
situation where someone else cashed the first cheque and then
the recipient ended up in a dispute where the CRA claimed the
refund was issued twice and demanded the money back with
interest. Good luck!  share|improve this answer She never
received the cheque since she moved out short
