The Government of Canada has announced that it is transitioning towards direct deposit as the primary payment method for all federal payments issued by the Receiver General.
As part of this initiative cheque stubs will no longer be printed starting the spring of 2015.
In order to receive direct deposits, recipients who currently receive payments by cheque are strongly encouraged to enroll in direct deposit by providing their banking information.
