“Looks like the Government of Canada will require a bank account for all government cheques. Therefore. anybody who is: 1. Suspected of being a U.S. person; and 2. Who becomes ‘FATCA Recalcitrant’ and has his/her account closed, will be unable to receive payments from the Government of Canada. It’s important to note that at the present time, any person, on showing the appropriate ID can get a Government of Canada cheque cashed at any bank. The ‘noose is tightening’ around U.S. citizens abroad.”
