Accepted for Value Guide, Canada Style
(Based on information received on August 5, 2010)
Disclaimer: This is not legal or financial advice. This is for entertainment purposes only.
This method is suggested for use with non-governmental invoices or statements such as those
sent by credit card companies, utility companies, etc. It may also work on government items
but there may be a better way to do that not discussed in this guide. This guide relates to the
information presented in the first half of the seminar.
The original invoice or statement that was sent by the company to you will be sent to the CRA
(Canadian Revenue Agency). A copy will be sent to the company that sent you the invoice or
statement so that they know a payment is on the way, (but may take a bit longer than usual as
it works its way through the CRA).
Whenever we write on these statements or invoices, we will use coloured ink. The colour of the
ink may be critical as apparently bankers use certain colours for certain things. For this example
you will need red and blue coloured ink. Take note of the angle that certain items are written
at, (45 degree bankers angle is important to do for some writings).
Step 1.
Take the original invoice or statement and prepare the front of it as shown in the corresponding
sample (fig a). Public account number is your SIN (Social Insurance Number) without dashes or
spaces.
Special Note about SIN numbers and dashes as opposed to no dashes:
SIN # 123-456-789 or 123 456 789 = Government Account or strawman’s tax account number.
SIN # 123456789 = public entitlement account or Exemption account # (also BN/EIN/Employer
ID#)
Also note:
- It would probably be a good idea not to cover up the money order routing number (shown as
the long line of zeros in the example) with the stamps. They may need to see this number as it is
like a routing number on a check).
- Do not fill in the ‘Amount Paid’ box. Keep your dollar numbers out of that box.

The original to the CRA front is prepared…..
Step 2.
Prepare the back of the original invoice or statement as shown in the corresponding sample (fig
b).

Step 3.
Make a colour photo copy of the front of the invoice or statement. Put it aside for the moment,
we will come back to that later.
Step 4.
Make a regular photo copy of the front and back of the original invoice or statement. This copy
will be for your records only. This could be a black and white copy if you wish.
Step 5.
Tear off or cut off the money order (also called remittance) part of the original invoice or
statement. Paper clip the remittance to the top portion of the original invoice or statement. DO
NOT STAPLE IT! (We must not damage the Queen’s property!). (see fig c)

Cut and paper clip the original together…….
Step 6.
Send the original invoice or statement (with money order clipped on) via registered mail to the
following CRA address:
To: Canada Revenue Agency
Ottawa Technology Centre
875 Heron Road
Ottawa ON, K1A 1A2
Step 7.
Take the colour photo copy of the invoice or statement and prepare it as shown in the
corresponding sample. (All that is done for this step is to add another stamp to the bottom of
the page and sign it. See fig d.)

Step 8.
Take a photo copy of this page for your records.
Step 9.
Send this colour copy to the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of the company that the statement or
invoice came from. Send this registered mail as well to ensure that they receive it.
Step 10.
In a few days after mailing via registered mail, go to the Canada Post web site and print off the
registered mail deliver certificate (with receiver’s signature shown) for each envelope for your
records.
Step 11.
IF these items are dishonoured by the CRA or a company then report the incident to the UPU
(Universal Postal Union – sometimes referred to as the International Postal Union) in Bern
Switzerland.
The agents of the CRA and/or the company have lost or tampered with the Queen’s valuable
property. They may be committing mail fraud. ????????
