We received T4RSP and T4RIF slips from Hubert via Canada Post on Feb 21 but are still waiting for our T5s.

February 28. T5 is not yet available online from Neo Financial.  

Neo Financial T5 is now available online.

Habib arrived today by Canada Post.
Waiting for Oaken (all) and Hubert T also OAS, CPP.
Oaken is chronically late - arrived March 12 last year.
OAS and CPP arrived Feb 18 last year; still not here.

CRA needs to extend the filing deadline.
The facilities that normally provide free assistance to low income persons with their T1s are reduced this year due to covid.

Oaken is available online and I believed its already posted on CRA as well.  

That ⬆

Oaken's T5's have been available online for over two weeks now.

I've never found a need to set up Oaken (or CRA) online, so will wait for the mail. They are always slow. I'm sure it is useful for some though.

Snail Mail is just so 'Yesterday' ❗

To each, their own ... I guess.

Have to balance that with taking more unnecessary security risks.
I would print it all out anyway. I simply can't trust electronics as a sole repository for anything important.
I do recycle or reuse all paper that is not longer needed.

How about banning print advertising that comes to my door from real estate agents, drain fixers, eaves trough cleaners, construction companies, restaurants, fitness businesses and so on? These go directly in the recycling bin. They have a much bigger impact than my annual T5 slips. I don't think this country is the least bit serious about reducing unnecessary paper.

Tip: Anything that is not addressed to your street address can be 'rejected' from your mailbox by simply putting a sticky label in your mailbox saying "No unaddressed mail" and it stops, at least stops coming to you. I did that some 15 years ago and see virtually nothing. A smart few get through by addressing the junk mail as "Occupant of 1234 Street". I hate having to carry that stuff home and put in recycle.

Solution: If CP doubled the rates on "bulk mail" or "direct mail", much of that crap would stop being produced.

I suspect there will be a continued shift in how stuff is transmitted/communicated over the next 10 years. More electronic delivery, less frequent postal service (CP is financially hemorrhaging with letter mail per their financials), and the gradual demise of the demographic traditionally stuck to paper. In the meantime, we will keep having this discussion every year me thinks......

OAKEN UPDATE: Still no T5. As the deadline for those paying interest was February 28, I called them yesterday (the 1st of March). It seems that they just barely managed to cram everything into envelopes and hurl it all through the Toronto post office chute at the stroke of midnight.

Okay, that last phrase was my imaginative contribution. But the CSR did say they struggled to get them out at the long end of the month, and my location in Vancouver doesn't give them a few extra hours, as they file in Ontario.

I had gotten the amount a week ago, so I can at least start the calculating.

P.S.: At least around here, they use a fluorescent red dot sticker to mark "no unaddressed mail" so you don't need neat handwriting. Look at your neighbours' mail boxes or slots if that's okay (you probably don't want to be walking up to a bunch of doors in a wealthy enclave of theheavily-armed) or you can ask your letter carrier.

Found today that LBC Digital T5 is available from CRA My Account since February 24.
