Put it on hold. Nothing important comes in the mail anymore (for us).
Same for us. We've done everything online for several years now, banking, taxes etc...; really no need for mail over 3-4 months time span.
You have been lucky!
Last year I got a call from Revenue Canada In March while in Tucson enjoying dinner at a restaurant.demanding a payment arrangement for $8,000 in unpaid taxes that they said I owed for the previous year's tax return (needless to say it soured my appetite for the meal!), I file electronically and a T-slip from from an employer got lost in the mail to RC. They had sent a letter to my home a couple of months earlier. As you probably know, Revenue Canada doesn't communicate to us electronically via E-mail or the net. In the end it cost $125 for interest payments after they admitted to the screw up, I could continue to fight it but it's not worth the hassle
One reason why I try to have brown envelopes flagged, scanned and forwarded!
