Tax refunds

The Canada Revenue Agency's goal is to send your refund within:

  • 2 weeks, when you file online
  • 8 weeks, when you file a paper return
  • Refunds may take up to 16 weeks if you live outside Canada and file a non-resident personal income tax return.

    The CRA may take longer to process your return if your return is selected for a more detailed review.

    If you use direct deposit, you could get your refund faster.
