A common concern!
In general, cheques mailed through the postal service can take some time to arrive, and the delivery time can vary depending on several factors. Here are some general guidelines:
- Within Canada:
- Mail sent through Canada Post's Xpresspost service typically takes 1-3 business days to arrive.
- Mail sent through Canada Post's Regular Mail service typically takes 3-7 business days to arrive.
- To the United States:
- Mail sent through Canada Post's Xpresspost service typically takes 2-5 business days to arrive.
- Mail sent through Canada Post's Regular Mail service typically takes 5-10 business days to arrive.
- To other countries:
- Delivery times can vary significantly depending on the destination country and the mail service used. International mail can take anywhere from 7-30 business days or more to arrive.
If you're expecting a GST cheque to arrive, it's a good idea to allow some extra time for delivery. Here are some tips to help you track your cheque:
- Check with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA): You can contact the CRA to confirm whether your GST cheque has been mailed and to get an estimated delivery date.
- Track your mail: Use Canada Post's tracking service to track your mail and get updates on its delivery status.
- Contact your financial institution: If you're expecting a direct deposit, you can contact your financial institution to confirm whether the funds have been deposited into your account.
Remember to keep an eye on your mail and bank accounts, and if you haven't received your cheque after a reasonable amount of time, you can contact the CRA or your financial institution for assistance.
