Investopedia explains 'Netfile'

It is important to note that filers can not make changes to their personal information such as name, address, date of birth, or direct deposit information, when using Netfile. To make changes to your personal information using your return, you must file your return by the traditional paper method. Alternatively you can change your personal information by contacting the CRA directly.
