On parle de 11 millions de chèques non réclamés. 😳
Un remboursement d'impôt que tu n'as jamais vu passer, un crédit envoyé à ton ancien appartement, une enveloppe oubliée au fond d'un tiroir... Il est plus courant qu'on le pense de laisser filer de l'argent du gouvernement fédéral. Et l'Agence du revenu du Canada (ARC), qui doit près de 2 milliards $ aux contribuables, conserve la trace de chacun de ces paiements jamais réclamés.

L'organisme a mis à jour ses données et la pile de chèques ne diminue pas vraiment. En date d'octobre 2026, l'ARC recensait 10 985 540 chèques non encaissés, pour une valeur totale de 1 876 160 000 $. C'est près de 2 milliards de dollars qui attendent toujours leurs destinataires, environ 150 000 chèques de plus qu'à l'été, et un montant moyen d'environ 171 $ par chèque.
Il y a quand même du monde qui finit par récupérer son dû. Depuis février 2020, 5 826 170 chèques ont été encaissés, ce qui représente plus de 2,15 milliards de dollars retournés dans les poches de la population.
Sache qu'un chèque du gouvernement du Canada reste valide indéfiniment. Si tu en retrouves un vieux en faisant le ménage, tu peux le déposer sans frais dans n'importe quelle institution financière au pays.
Ta banque refuse un chèque trop ancien ou abîmé? Tu peux l'envoyer par la poste à la Direction de l'imagerie et des opérations du receveur général, à Matane, en demandant qu'il soit réémis avec une date récente.
La façon la plus simple est de passer par ton compte Mon dossier. Une fois connecté ou connectée, clique sur la section « Chèques non encaissés », accessible depuis la page « Aperçu » ou « Comptes et paiements ».
Tu y verras tes chèques personnels datés de plus de six mois, comme un remboursement d'impôt ou la plupart des crédits et prestations. Les chèques envoyés à une personne décédée dont tu gères le dossier s'y trouvent aussi.
Certains paiements n'apparaissent toutefois pas en ligne. C'est le cas des chèques de moins de six mois et de ceux destinés à une entreprise ou à une fiducie, entre autres.
Avant d'envoyer ta demande, prends un moment pour vérifier que ton adresse et tes informations de dépôt direct sont à jour. Le dépôt direct reste l'option la plus rapide, alors qu'un chèque par la poste peut prendre jusqu'à 10 jours ouvrables de plus à arriver.
Garde aussi en tête que si tu as une dette envers le gouvernement, elle pourrait être remboursée à même ce montant avant que le solde te soit versé.
Toutes les démarches sont détaillées sur la page officielle des chèques non encaissés de l'ARC.
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly says new federal investments announced Friday are a first step toward reducing the Canadian aluminum sector's dependence on the United States.
Joly, who is also the minister responsible for economic development in Quebec, made the comments in La Baie, Que., where she announced more than $193 million in federal funding for projects at four Rio Tinto facilities in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region and at the Alouette aluminum smelter in Sept-Îles, Que.
“The aluminum industry is much more than an economic driver. It is also a strategic industry for our country and for Canadian sovereignty,” the minister said in her speech.
Citing the economic upheaval caused by tariffs and the unpredictability of the American government, Joly said that “in this new context, we must be able to produce more of what our economy needs right here in Canada.”
She also said the funding is a first step toward strengthening the Canadian aluminum supply chain.
Joly pointed out that the price of aluminum products are inflated first by tariffs when they enter the United States and a second time when that aluminum returns to Canada. The United States imposes a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum, and since Sept. 8, Canada has imposed a 50 per cent tariff on processed aluminum from the United States, resulting in a total surcharge of 100 per cent.
The Canadian tariff imposed in March 2025 was 25 per cent before Sept. 8.
Joly stressed that the government sees aluminum as a strategic sector for the Canadian economy and that she sees the importance of building rolling mills in Canada.
"It’s not normal that most of our aluminum is processed in the United States and then comes back at a higher cost to our companies," she said.
She said several sectors — including agri-food, beverages, and aerospace — need more processed aluminum and have rolling mill projects of their own.
"We want to be able to produce our aluminum cans here at home; we want to be able to produce our aircraft and aerospace parts here at home; and we also want to attract key investments in aluminum processing for our defence sector," Joly said.
On top of providing financial support to producers, she said the government also wants to work with entrepreneurs interested in developing these rolling mills and take on equity stakes.
Ottawa also wants “to be able to offer procurement contracts, certainly defence-related ones, for key components in the aerospace sector, precisely to create a business model that makes sense for a rolling mill,” Joly stated.
“Economic sovereignty isn’t something you proclaim, it’s something you build."
Canada has nine primary aluminum smelters, eight of which are located in Quebec. The other is in British Columbia.

The Manitoba government is banning teachers from texting with students or messaging them on social media sites.
The province says school employees will still be able to communicate with students on platforms that are monitored by school divisions or other administrators.
Education Minister Tracy Schmidt says the province's directive will help keep kids safe, set expectations for parents and give educators guidelines.
All schools will be required to share the changes with students, staff and families in their communities.
The ban comes after two educators recently lost their teaching certificates for sending inappropriate messages to students.
An investigation by Manitoba's independent education commissioner found that in one case, the teacher engaged in a years-long inappropriate relationship with a student that began in middle school and continued as the student went into high school.
