Approximately 5 million Canadians had an estimated 7.6 million uncashed cheques with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) dating back to 1998.  The money comes from the millions of payments issued each year in the form of refunds, benefits and credits.  Some of these cheques have simply been lost in the mail.
