I use the online tax forms from simpletax. They are free (they ask you for a donation at the end...up to you) and your tax return is uploaded to the CRA. They will combine the tax forms of husband/wife to figure out the best return for the pair.
Re the instant cashback: I remember a news program a few years ago talking to a tax consultant. They asked about the immediate cash refund service, and her response, which I'll always remember was: "If you really need your tax refund right away, and are ready to take that kind of loss, perhaps it's time to assess where you are going in life". Back then it was a month or two to get a return. Now it is a week or two. Why anyone would even give up even 5% to have their money a week early is beyond me.
