Efile vs Netfile: What’s the difference?

Other tax preparers use Netfile which is a free service provided by the government for you to file your taxes after they’ve been prepared. Essentially, anyone can use Netfile.

To use Efile, we had to become certified by the CRA, which allows us to bypass the CRA auditors and file your return faster!

Typically when Netfile is used the average processing time is 10 business days BEFORE the refund is issued. With Efile, we have processed the return on our end already and you can expect to see your refund in 7-10 business days with direct deposit, depending on CRA volumes.
