For a 2024 tax return filed online (e-filed) with direct deposit, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) typically processes refunds within two weeks. Given you filed on March 9th, you should expect your refund or Notice of Assessment (NOA) around March 21st to March 24th (approximately 8-10 business days). Electronic Filing (Netfile): 2 weeks (10 business days). Paper Filing: Up to 8 weeks. First-time Filer Note: Because this is your first time, the CRA may take slightly longer to set up your account profile, but most online returns are still processed quickly.Make sure CRA has your banking information for direct deposit.
