After nearly 2 YEARS of back-and-forth with CRA, this file is finally resolved.
Our client was originally told they owed over $26,000.
They received repeated calls with threats of bank account freezes and wage garnishments.
We submitted everything required — not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES through reviews.
Each time, requests were nitpicked… and every resubmission meant another 6+ month wait.
👉 Then something changed.
The client reached out to their MP.
Within 2 weeks:
✔️ File reviewed properly
✔️ Amounts reinstated
✔️ Balance cleared
✔️ Refund issued: $7,674.33
This is why advocacy matters. Shout out to Chris Warkentin MP office for getting things done!
Sometimes it’s not about doing more paperwork — it’s about getting the right eyes on the file.
If you’re stuck in a CRA loop, don’t just wait it out. There are options.
