Okies, so how about we track when we filed and then when we receive our refunds? Maybe Liz can help us out with her Excel savvy!!!

I know I technically don't count because I am still a resident of Canada, but I sent in my taxes March 2nd and got my refund on March 10th.

It was crazy fast.

Well at least you're out of the country. I'm still in Canada waiting to file, so that blows! I'd rather be waiting for my tax refund!

Plus, I bet you'll get your refund sooner than you think!

My mom is bringing my T4 and tax package next month. I only worked for a few months last year. The only thing I am worried about is- I said no to getting GST the year before and they sent cheques anyway. I cashed them. I don't know what I will need to pay back.

Maybe, maybe not. Earmuffs got the tip that they are taking forever to process non-resident returns sad.gif

For complicated paper filing I thought it took at least 9-12 weeks to be processed.
liz_legend 'n Ol

16 to 20 weeks be a long time, n'est-ce pas?

112 to 140 days
16 to 20 weeks
4 to 5 months

I think months is easier to track than weeks.

Yep.. looks like we go to the back of the line for priority when it comes to looking at our tax returns.. sad.gif

Yep... though they were quite efficient in slamming me with a "you owe us GST money" letter... protest6wz.gif which was as bogus as a lot of the people in OT.

i sent mine in on May 1st.
I am expecting a refund and will let you know when I hear back from them smile.gif

Did anyone ask when they start paying you interest on your money?
J&K
So........my dad screwed up and sent in my T1 saying that my total income was the same as my taxable income...which isn't right.

So basically, as of right now, instead of me getting my $1100 refund, CRA is saying I owe them $514! They also stated that I didn't qualify for the entire federal tax credit, which I do under Section 217 (I swear someone didn't even look at my return properly...they corrected the wrong info!) laughing.gif

I have to laugh about this. I need to send them a letter to amend my return so they can fix this. Now I get to wait even longer. Oh well...my $4000 US return refund and $1200 Stimulus package will help ease the pain biggrin.gif

They will pay daily compound interest after the latest date of the following:
  • May 31st
  • 31 days after your tax filing has been filed (received by CRA)
  • The day after you overpaid your taxes.
