What Happens After You File and Why You Should Create a CRA My Account (Part 4)

Once you've filed your first tax return, you will receive a Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the CRA. This document is your gateway to registering for a CRA My Account. Your CRA My Account is an invaluable tool that allows you to:

• View your tax slips and other documents online.

• Check the status of your refund or benefit payments.

• Update your personal information, like your address or direct deposit details.

• Receive electronic correspondence from the CRA, so you don't have to wait for mail.

By filing your taxes and creating a CRA My Account, you're taking a vital step toward managing your financial life as a new resident of Canada.
