Minister’s message
On behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, I am pleased to present our report on fees for fiscal year 2018 to 2019, my organization’s second annual report under the Service Fees Act.
The act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.
Last year, a detailed listing of individual fees under the department’s authority, along with anticipated increases, was added to the reporting requirements.
This year’s report provides more detail on each fee, such as the type and rate of adjustment, the service standard and the performance result. This information provides additional context on each fee, in the spirit of open and transparent fee management.
I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act’s reporting regime embodies. I will continue to lead my department’s transition to this modern framework.
The Honourable Marco E.L. Mendicino, P.C., M.P.,
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
About this report
This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act and section 4.2.8 of the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada had the authority to charge in the 2018 to 2019 fiscal year.
This report contains information about all fees that are under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s authority, even if some or all of the fees are collected by another department.
The information reported includes fees that:
- fall under the Service Fees Act
- are exempt from the Service Fees Act
The information covers fees set by:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
- act, regulation or fees notice
For fees set by the following mechanisms, the report provides totals only:
- contract
- market-base, auction or both
For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each individual fee.
Although the fees charged by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada under the Access to Information Act are subject to the Service Fees Act, they are not included in this report. Information on Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s access to information fees for fiscal year 2018 to 2019 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, Annual Report 2018-2019.
Remissions
A remission is a partial or full return of a fee to a fee payer who paid for a service for which a department deemed that the service standard was not met.
Under the Service Fees Act, departments must develop policies for determining whether a service standard has been met and for determining how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer. This requirement does not take effect until April 1, 2020. This report therefore includes only those remissions issued under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s enabling legislation. It does not include remissions issued under the Service Fees Act.
