Canadians Will Get Benefit Cheques This Week Even With Canada Post Strike

Government Provides Assurances as Strike Enters Second Week

Canadians who are expecting to receive government benefit cheques this week can rest assured that they will get their money, despite the ongoing Canada Post strike. The government has put measures in place to ensure that cheques are delivered, even if there are delays in mail service.

The Canada Post strike began on July 2, 2023, and there is still no end in sight. The strike has caused significant delays in mail delivery, including the delivery of government benefit cheques. However, the government has taken steps to mitigate the impact of the strike on Canadians who rely on these cheques.

The government has partnered with financial institutions to deliver benefit cheques electronically. Canadians who have provided their bank account information to the government will receive their cheques directly into their accounts. Those who have not provided their bank account information will receive a paper cheque in the mail. However, there may be delays in the delivery of paper cheques due to the strike.

What to Do If You Haven't Received Your Cheque

If you have not received your benefit cheque by the end of this week, you should contact the government department that is responsible for issuing the cheque. You can find the contact information for the relevant department on the government's website.

Conclusion

Canadians who are expecting to receive government benefit cheques this week can rest assured that they will get their money, even if there are delays in mail service due to the Canada Post strike. The government has put measures in place to ensure that cheques are delivered, even if there are delays.
