The IRS has implemented an online tax refund tracker which is available at http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96596,00.html. I hope this helps.

The Canada Revenue Agency does not start processing Canadian income tax returns until the middle of February. No matter how early you file your income tax return, you will not be able to get information on the status of an income tax refund until the middle of March. You should also wait until at least four weeks after you file your return before checking on the status of an income tax refund.
