Many of the major US-Canada border crossings with duty free shops have a GST
Refund window that lets you get your GST credit back on the spot, in the
form of a voucher. You have to go into the duty free shop to cash that in,
but it's not too much of a hassle. There are some restrictions, of course,
but you can check them out at the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency website.
Here's the form for non-duty free refunds:

...and here's the CCRA website that you can start at:

Notable, the minimun purchase for GST credit is $200 CDN total, with
individual receipts not less than $50. Buy lots of LEGO, or other stuff in
Canada, just make sure it's in lumps of $50 or more.
I think I'll be driving through there in September...
