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.
It's the perfect spot for a late-autumn outing. 🍂
Cozy small towns with quaint shops and charming streets don't just exist on screen. This Ontario village looks like it was plucked from an autumn Hallmark film, and it's only a road trip away from Toronto.
Tucked amid rolling hills and vibrant leaves, the destination is a magical place to explore in late fall.
Creemore is a picture-perfect village tucked into the scenic Niagara Escarpment, about 2 hours from Toronto.
According to the website, it is known as "the little village with the big heart," and the historic Main Street will whisk you away to a "simpler time."
You can stroll through the town, popping into cozy bookshops and local boutiques along the way.
Since autumn is all about spiced lattes and sweet treats, you'll want to stop by these charming cafes dotted throughout the area.
You can grab a baked good and seasonal drink from The Creemore Bakery, Bank Café or Good Grief Coffee Roasters.
Or enjoy a crisp local beer from the Creemore Springs Brewery.
There's more to Creemore than its quaint shops and charming main street.
The village is also home to some attractions, including North America's Smallest Jail, a tiny building dating back to the 1800s with just three cells.
If you're hoping to do some last-minute leaf-peeping, Creemore is close to several scenic fall hiking spots.
Devil's Glen Provincial Park is a must-visit, with forested trails and a boardwalk offering beautiful views of the valley below.
Nottawasaga Lookout is another beautiful place to take in the views, with sweeping vistas of the Niagara Escarpment framed by vibrant shades of red, orange and gold.
You can also explore the Bruce Trail, which passes through sections of the Niagara Escarpment and offers more opportunities to admire the autumn scenery.
Creemore is located just a short drive from Collingwood, another charming town with a lively main street, shops, and eateries. You can also pop over to Blue Mountain Village while in the area, a charming pedestrian village with outdoor attractions and more.
With its beautiful scenery and Hallmark-worthy charm, Creemore is an idyllic destination for a last-minute autumn getaway.
As British Columbia chooses a new provincial government on Saturday, the SPCA has launched its own campaign urging voters to call on election candidates to commit to changing laws so that families with pets will have equal access to housing.
The plea comes after Erin Hayman's family spent months hunting for a place to live with their pets when they lost their home in the Bald Range wildfire, which destroyed about 150 structures in the district of Summerland, B.C. in August.
A statement from the BC SPCA says Hayman's family was determined to keep their whole family together, including their two dogs and four cats, after flames destroyed their home this summer, but housing limitations made it "impossible."
Hayman's four cats, Peaches, Miso, Gauntlett and Calamari, have been staying at the SPCA's emergency boarding program since the fire, and they found temporary housing that accepted their dogs.
But a statement from the SPCA says it has taken the family about three months to find pet-friendly, long-term housing that will allow them to reunite with their cats in November.
Hayman says it has been "incredibly difficult" for his daughters, as they are dealing with the pain of losing everything in the fire, and fearing at one point that they might have to give their cats away.
Sarah Herring with the BC SPCA says they are seeing too many families being forced to surrender or rehome pets they love because they can't find pet-friendly housing.
