I'm not sure about Canada, but in US we have January 31st deadlines for W-2's and 1099's.  The update has to be applied before the W-2's and 1099's are produced.  Therefore, we cannot wait until AFTER January 2022.  We can do it anytime between the year end version's release and the time that W-2's and 1099's are produced.  This link may be helpful.  It looks like 20.5 will be the year end version and I haven't seen it's release yet.  Usually it is released around the middle of December.

I would like to know of 20.5 is available yet also.

I too am curious if the updated version of CRE is available?  Also, has anyone here ever had a "streamlined" install, that goes off without a hitch? 

never!
