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.
This is a compete lie. All you need to do is call CRA (1-800-959-8281) and tell them you never received your refund. They will then verify that it has not been cashed and send you an affidavit to sign to certify that you did not receive it and they will issue you a new payment. The entire process takes 3-4 weeks not months.
