Just got a deposit from the Government of Canada labelled "Payroll" for ~$1370, and I have no idea it's what for
Pretty much the title. I received 2 deposits from "Canada", one for $145, and one for $1,224. I am well aware this money shouldn't be spent if I received it in error, but I have no idea why I would have received it and wondering if anyone had any insight?
For Context:
1 - I already filed my taxes and received my tax return money, so it's not that.
2 - I am a former public servant, but I left the public service years ago. My pension contributions, and any other money they owed me before I left, has long since been squared away to my knowledge.
3 - I haven't applied for any type of program or anything like that where the government would send me money (EI, etc)
4 - I checked MyCRA, and there is no scheduled payment, or previously scheduled payments for these amounts. Even if there was, this is not the bank account MyCRA uses for my direct deposit.
