Minister’s message

On behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, I am pleased to present the 2017-2018 Report on Fees.

On June 22, 2017, the Service Fees Act received royal assent, thereby repealing the User Fees Act.

The Service Fees Act introduces a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through enhanced reporting to Parliament, improved transparency and oversight. The act provides for:

  • a streamlined approach to consultation and the approval of new or modified fees;
  • a requirement for services to have service standards and reporting against these standards, along with a policy to remit fees to fee payers when standards are not met;
  • an automatic annual fee adjustment by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to ensure that fees keep pace with inflation; and an
  • annual detailed reporting to Parliament in order to increase transparency.

This 2017-2018 Fees Report is the first report to be prepared under the Service Fees Act. The report includes new information such as a detailed listing of all fees along with future year fee amounts. Additional fee information will be included starting next fiscal year, once Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada fully transitions to the Service Fees Act regime.

I am pleased to announce that at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada we have established service standards for most of our fees over the past years. Currently, most of the fees subject to the Service Fees Act have service standards established. At the beginning of the fiscal year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has undertaken a service standard review with the objective of updating and establishing new service standards. I am also pleased to indicate that every year Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada completes a fee monitoring exercise for all its fees to ensure compliance with the Financial Administration Act.

I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act’s reporting regime embodies.

The Honourable Ahmed D. Hussen, PC., M.P. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Year last amended: 2015

These fees do not require a service standard to be set.

The employer compliance fee is paid by all employers when hiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment-exempt foreign worker for whom a work permit is issued. Some employers may be exempt from paying the employer compliance fee under subsections R303.1(5) and R303.2(2).

The open work permit fee is collected for all persons holding an open work permit for the rights and privileges conferred by means of that permit, with the exception of persons who are exempted by the Regulations from paying the fee (that is, the person is intending to perform work under section 204 or 205, or is described in paragraph 207(b) and does not have an offer of employment).

Performance results

The open work permit fee is collected for 100% of applicants who are issued an open work permit and who do not qualify for a regulatory exemption.

The employer compliance fee and the open work permit fee were introduced as a part of program reforms conducted in 2015. These are fees for rights or privileges and are intended to recover the costs of the International Mobility Program (IMP) regulatory regime.

Budget 2018 signalled the government’s continued commitment to the IMP by earmarking ongoing funding for the program.

IRCC will continue to closely monitor both fees and conduct a fee review to ensure a surplus is not being generated and that there is compliance with the Financial Administration Act.

Restoration of temporary resident status: These applications are submitted to various processing streams (student, worker or visitor), depending on the status the applicant needs to regain. They are processed according to the processing times of the stream under which the individual is applying, and thus there are no separate processing times available for these cases.

Performance results

New temporary resident visa applications submitted outside Canada: 66% were processed within the two-week service standard.

Service standard adherence rate for new parent and grandparent super visas in 2017–18 is 88%.

Other information

The Passport Program expects to generate a surplus in revenues until 2017–18. These financial surpluses will be used to compensate for the anticipated reduction in revenue during the second half of the business cycle, starting in 2018–19.

The significant drop in revenues in the second half of the business cycle is caused by an abrupt reduction in passport demand due to the introduction of a 10-year validity passport in July 2013. By introducing a 10-year passport, the program had to transition from a 5-year to a 10-year business cycle, meaning its costs and revenues must balance out over the 10-year business cycle.

While demand is low, the Passport Program requires accumulated surpluses to sustain operations as there are many fixed costs associated with maintaining the infrastructure that supports Passport Program delivery which do not vary with passport volume fluctuations.

Although it is expected the Passport Program will operate in a deficit for five years, from 2018–2019 to 2022–2023, adequate revenues will be collected in the preceding five years to compensate for the deficit.
