The Canada Revenue Agency's goal is to send your refund within:
2 weeks, when you file online
8 weekswhen you file a paper return
These timelines areonlyvalid for returns that we received on or before their due dates.
Returns may take up to16 weeksif you live outside Canada and file a non-resident personal income tax return.
The CRA may take longer to process your return if it is selected for a more detailed review. See Review of your tax return by the CRA for more information.
If you use direct deposit, you could get your refund faster.
