The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says it has no plans to extend the deadline to file taxes despite a potential strike involving thousands of workers in a labour dispute over contracts, wages, and remote work.

“There are no plans to extend the T1 tax filing deadlines, as a potential strike in no way impedes the ability of Canadians to file their taxes electronically or on paper,” a spokesperson at the agency told Global News.
