Did you know…
If you file your income tax return electronically, you may get your refund within eight business days. If you file electronically and use direct deposit, you can get your refund even faster.
Filing electronically is easy, convenient, and environmentally friendly. If you use NETFILE, EFILE, or TELEFILE, you get immediate confirmation that your return has been received, you have no mailing costs, and you don't need to send any receipts unless the CRA asks for them.
If you want us to deposit your refund directly into your bank account, you need to send a request for direct deposit to the CRA.
For more information on electronic filing and direct deposit visit http://www.cra.gc.ca/eservices.
