About 10 months ago I bought a T7i and ever since I've owned it I've always had to correct the rotation of the images about 2.5 degrees CCW. The lens is a Canon 17-55.

When I take the pictures I always align the bottom edge of the subject parallel with the frame in the LCD screen but as you can see the image is really rotated. To remedy this I can align the vertical right edge of the image with the right edge of the LCD screen but then it feels weird to rotate the camera like this.

Has anyone else had issues like this or is this normal?

Not normal. If only when shooting through the viewfinder then the mirror, focus screen, and/or viewfinder glass is cockeyed. If also does this using Live View, then I'd guess the sensor is mounted askew.

Should I send this to Canon or a local camera shop and have them look it over?

at  < 1 year this would be a warranty claim with Canon.  I'm a bit surprised you put up with it for 10 months.

IMHO, YMMV
