If you receive your payment by direct deposit, you can rest assured that you will receive it without delay on the day the payment is released.

What to do to get the February 2026 payment on time?
If you are the recipient of a payment administered by the Canada Revenue Agency, you should know that the CRA releases the payment as soon as it is received within the due timeline. If you want to receive your February 2026 payment without any delay, you can switch to direct deposit.
The advantage of switching to direct deposit is that you don’t have to wait long after the release of the payment to receive it. It gets credited to the bank account within hardly 4 hours, and even if the technicalities are on the same page, it hardly takes 72 hours for the payment to reflect in the bank account.
Why was the February 2026 payment not received on time?
The CRA will release payments in a timely manner. You need to understand that payments may be delayed in certain situations. Direct deposits can be delayed up to 72 hours if there are technical issues, and paper check delivery can take up to 7 days if the workload with Canada Post is significant.
If you still haven’t received a direct deposit confirmation after waiting 72 hours or a paper deposit for 7 days, please contact the Canada Revenue Agency. They will explain the reason for the delay and provide you with a date you can be sure to receive your payment.
