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!
I'm actually fortunate to have an accountant that handles my income taxes and any issues. We're usually back home by April when I get to see what's in the mail. When I mentioned doing taxes online I was thinking of my property taxes that come due in January of each year.
