If you have moved

If you move, let the CRA know your new address as soon as possible.

If you use direct deposit, you also need to tell the CRA if you change your account at your financial institution.

Keeping your information up-to-date will ensure that you keep getting your GST/HST credit (including those from certain related provincial payments), Canada child benefit payments (including those from certain related provincial or territorial programs), and advanced Canada workers benefit payments you may be entitled to, as well as important correspondence from the CRA. Otherwise, your payments may stop or you may not get important correspondence like your notice of assessment.

Changing your address

If you move, you can change your address:

• online using My Account for Individuals
• by mail by completing Form RC325, Address change request, or by sending a letter or fax to your tax centre

  In your letter, be sure to include your:

  • social insurance number
  • new address
  • date of your move
  • signature

If you are writing for someone else (for example, your spouse or common-law partner), include their social insurance number and have them sign the letter authorizing the change to their records.

• by phone using our Individual Income Tax Enquiries line at 1-800-959-8281. (The CRA will ask you for your name, address, social insurance number, date of birth, and other information from your tax return or notice of assessment.)
