In the beginning of March I submitted my canadian departure tax return by regular mail from USA to the international tax office in Ottawa. Till now I did not hear anything from them. "My account" on CCRA website says that 2006 tax return is not received yet. Does anybody know how long does it take to process it ?
Thank you.

Departure return (in fact, all non-resident returns) are usually processed in mid-summer. They are last on the totem pole.

That's true.
I submitted my cdn tax return last Apr. and didn't receive the notice until Aug.
However, CRA credited me a few dollars as refund interest.
