2020-2021 Fees Report

Minister’s message

On behalf of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, I am pleased to present our report on fees for 2020–21.
The Service Fees Act provides a modern legislative framework that enables cost-effective delivery of services and, through better reporting to Parliament, improves transparency and oversight.
Similar to last year, a detailed listing of individual fees under the department’s authority, along with anticipated adjustments, was included with the reporting requirements.
This year’s report will continue to provide 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.
It is important to note that air travel and border restrictions measures implemented to control the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of Canadians have led to a decrease in revenue across all IRCC business lines and a massive disruption to processing capacity and activity. Compared to 2019-2020, IRCC experienced a significant reduction in revenues.
I welcome the increased transparency and oversight that the Service Fees Act’s reporting regime embodies.
The Honourable Sean S. A. Fraser, PC., M.P.
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
About this report
This report, which is tabled under section 20 of the Service Fees Act, including the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations and subsection 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 set in 2020–21.Footnote 1
Government of Canada departments may set fees for services, licences, permits, products, the use of facilities, for other authorizations of rights or privileges, or to recover, in whole or in part, costs incurred in relation to a regulatory scheme.
For reporting purposes, fees must be categorized under the following three fee-setting mechanisms:
- Act, regulation or fees notice
- An act of Parliament delegates the fee-setting authority to a department, minister or Governor in Council.
- Contract
- Ministers have the authority to enter into contracts, which are usually negotiated between the minister and an individual or organization, and which cover fees and other terms and conditions. In some cases, that authority may also be provided by an act of Parliament.
- Market rate or auction
- The authority to set these fees is pursuant to an act of Parliament or regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.
This report contains information about all fees that are under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s authority.
The information covers fees subject to the Service Fees Act and exempted from the Service Fees Act.
For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee.
Although the fees that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada charges under the Access to Information Act were 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 2020–21 can be found in our access to information report, which is posted on our Web page: Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, Annual Report 2020-2021.
Remissions
This report does not include remissions issued under the authority of the Service Fees Act, since this requirement took effect on April 1, 2021. Remissions issued under the Service Fees Act will be reported for the first time, as applicable, in the 2021–22 Fees Report, which will be published in 2022–23.
The Service Fees Act requires departments to remit a fee, in part or in full, to a fee payer when a service standard is deemed not met. Under the Service Fees Act and the Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, departments had to develop policies and procedures for determining:
- whether a service standard has been met
- how much of a fee will be remitted to a fee payer if a service standard is deemed not met.
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada remission policy and procedures were made available to the public as of April 1, 2021, and can be found on the following web page: Departmental Remission Policy Pursuant to the Service Fees Act.
The “Overall totals for 2020-21, by fee-setting mechanism” presents the total remissions by fee setting mechanism. The “Totals, by fee grouping, for fees set by act, regulation or fees notice” provides further details related to remissions that were issued under Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s enabling legislation and issued under the authority of the Financial Administration Act in 2020–21.
