Do you want to check the status of your Income Tax Refund ? CRA Ph. 1-800-267-6999
EDIT :
They have changed stuff a bit this year i.e 2017 on wards .
When you NETFILE online it almost immediately shows as ASSESSED with a FUTURE assessed date which is 9-10 days away. That Received thing seems to have been changed to Assessed.
So if you NETFILE on say March 10 , if you check under My Account on CRA website, almost immediately it will show as Assessed with a future post dated assessed date say March 20 or something like that.
That future assessed date, which shows up is also the day when you will get your Direct Deposit late at night or early morning the day after depending on the bank. Some banks process it faster, some take 10-15 hrs more.
If you don't have Direct Deposit then that Future Assessed date its showing is also the date when the refund check will be mailed out.
I believe DD is mandatory now and check is no longer mailed out.

A. By Automated Tele-Phone services
Call the Tax Information Phone Service (TIPS) at 1-800-267-6999. This service is available from mid-February to December 31.
We need proof of identification before we provide this information, so you will have to give us 3 Things :
1. Your Social Insurance Number,
2. Your Month and Year of birth, and
3. Total income amount you entered on line 150 ( Just the dollar amount, no cents )
They might ask for this year's line 150 income or the year before that, so keep both of them handy.
