It's an incredibly painful process to get a cheque from Revenue Canada replaced when they or Canada Post has lost it. I had to do it once because of a clerical error they made and my cheque that should have been issued in July was issued in November again.
First thing I would do is contact Canada Revenue tomorrow morning via phone and inquire about the actual mail out date and mention that this was during the Postal Strike. Chances are you will get the standard answer that they have mailed it and have no control over the post system. You then can ask about a replacement cheque.
You will probably be asked to contact Canada Post to file a missing mail (I can't remember the technical name) inquiry. As it hasn't been two months, you'll probably be told to wait for the full 75 days (or more) before filing it. After that time, Canada Post will have you answer some more questions and have you sign a declaration that you have indeed not received it. Once you have received this, you will contact Revenue Canada again and find someone to send this as well as probably a copy of banking statements showing proof you haven't deposited it as well as another declaration and they will issue another cheque in 6 weeks.
The whole process takes about 2-3 months unfortunately.
