Availability of tax slips in the CRA’s portals and the Auto-fill my return service
This year, the CRA has granted relief in respect of late-filing penalties for information returns, such as the T3 (trust income), T4 (remuneration paid), T4A (pension and other income) and T5 (investment income). As a result, certain information returns (tax slips) may not be available in My Account, Represent a Client, or the Auto-fill my return service at the time of your request. If you suspect that information is not available, please try the service again at a later date. For more information, please go to CRA’s update on the filing of information returns.
Get your T4, T5, T3, T2202, RC62, RC210 or RRSP slips
Slips are prepared by your employer, payer, administrator or financial institution. You should receive most of your slips (including your T4, T4A, and T5 slips) and receipts by the end of February. However, T3, and T5013 slips do not have to be sent before the end of March.
To get your Old age security (OAS), employment insurance (EI) or Canada Pension Plan (CPP) slips, sign in to Service Canada.
