FYI, Yes they do refund some taxes BUT: you have to spend enough cash to surpass a certain minimum in taxes paid. Find out how much that is or you will be wasting your time standing in a line at a duty-free shop holding your worthless wrinkled receipts like I did. Chris C 90mv

Keep your receiots and when you come back into the states stop at customs and present your receipts to them. I'm not sure that they refund both GST and PST but they will refund one of the two (or both can't remember). Like Ian said this applies to good not Alcohol, Food, or services.

Again some of my points could be a bit off because it has been a long time since I have been to Canada. Which is crazy considering my home town has the International Blue Water Bridge and Sarnia is just across the bridge.
