Original PR description
I’ve adapted your enterprise module l10n_us_check_printing to match our Canadian needs as per Canadian Payment Association (specs [here](https://www.cdnpay.ca/imis15/pdf/pdfs_rules/standard_006.pdf))…
I’ve adapted your enterprise module l10n_us_check_printing to match our Canadian needs as per Canadian Payment Association (specs [here](https://www.cdnpay.ca/imis15/pdf/pdfs_rules/standard_006.pdf)) Differences: - date format has to be printed on the check as YYYY MM DD (under the date) - add a new optional date label field - most of the time the “Date:” label is not pre printed and is mandatory - reverse “name” and "amount in words" to match our mandatory layout - print address of partner to facilitate mailing - adjust printing position of multiple elements to be able to use dedicated double window envelopes - add right margin in order to be able to adjust printing - depends now on l10n_ca (instead of l10n_us) - and last but not least… we called them cheque not check (not a big deal but shows that Odoo cares about Canadians :) Please see below a copy of a cheques created by this module:  In may 2016 our top national newspaper published this [article](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/is-the-cheque-disappearing-any-time-soon/article30111344/), excerpt: _“Canadian businesses don’t really have a great alternative to cheques today, so our view is that the cheque will endure probably for at least another decade and may never go away.”_ I strongly believe that it would make a real difference to have this in the enterprise core, available for all Canadian businesses. I've tested this in 9 and I think is safe to be backported there as it's much needed. Thank you
