Submit service feedback
Due to an increased volume of submissions, it may take up to 50 business days for the CRA to process your request. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to address your feedback as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.
You can provide feedback on services provided by the Canada Revenue Agency by submitting a service compliment, a suggestion or a complaint.

Submit a service compliment or a suggestion
Compliments or suggestions
You can submit a compliment about a positive experience with the service that you received from the CRA. Your feedback will be forwarded onto the responsible manager and/or employee for recognition. A service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail as part of the review process.
You can submit a suggestion about improving the CRA service(s). Your feedback will be forwarded to the appropriate office or program area for consideration. A service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail as part of the review process.
Service complaints
You can submit a service complaint if you are not satisfied with the service that you received from the CRA. See Your Rights for more information on your service rights when dealing with the CRA. When reviewing your complaint, a service feedback officer may contact you by phone or by mail. How long it takes to resolve your complaint depends on the complexity of the situation. Service complaints can be about:
- mistakes that could result in a misunderstanding or omission
- undue delays
- (see service standards for normal processing times)
- employee behaviour
- poor or misleading information
- accessibility barriers
- other service-related issues
If your complaint involves another issue, see non-service related complaints.
There are three steps in the service complaint process:
Step 1 – Talk to us first
You can try to resolve your concerns with the CRA employee you have been dealing with or call the telephone number provided in the CRA's correspondence. If you do not have the contact information, go to Contact the Canada Revenue Agency. If you still disagree with the way your concerns were addressed, you can ask to discuss the matter with the employee's supervisor.
If you are still not satisfied, you can file a service complaint.
Step 2 – File a service complaint
Complete the RC193 – Service Feedback online form or the pdf version of the form and submit it online, by fax or by mail.
After you submit your service complaint
The CRA takes all complaints very seriously. A service feedback officer will respond directly to your concerns in a fair and timely manner. How long it takes to resolve your complaint depends on the complexity of the situation. Our goal is to resolve your complaint within 30 business days from the date it is received by the Service Feedback Program.
Step 3 – Contact the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson
If you are still not satisfied with how the CRA handled your service complaint, you can contact the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson.
Generally, the Office of the Taxpayers' Ombudsperson will not review a service complaint until the CRA has finished its review.
