Our experience (as Americans) with the above mentioned refund is that it
has never amounted to enough to do us enough good to bother filling out the
form and submitting it.  We often spend a few thousand dollars, but many
services are excluded, which is what we mostly spend money on on such trips
to Canada.  Any others have the same experience?
