Minister’s message

I am pleased to present Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s report on fees for 2021–22.

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, performance result and remissions. This information provides additional context on each fee, in the spirit of open and transparent fee management.

It is important to note that the last two years have been unprecedented for Canada as we continue to deal with the lingering affects of the COVID-19 pandemic and honor our commitment to support those affected by international conflict around the world. As a result, Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada saw a significant rise in remissions in 2021-22. The requirements set forth in the Service Fee Act will also increase the impact on remissions for future years.

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

The Honourable Sean 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, the Low-Materiality Fees Regulations and subsection 4.2.8 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities, contains information about the fees Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada had the authority to set in fiscal year 2021-22.^{Footnote 1}

The report covers fees that are subject to the Service Fees Act and exempted from the Service Fees Act.

For reporting purposes, fees are categorized by fee-setting mechanism. There are three mechanisms:

Act, regulation or fees notice
- The authority to set these fees is delegated to a department, minister or Governor in Council pursuant to an act of Parliament.
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 a regulation, and the minister, department or Governor in Council has no control over the fee amount.

For fees set by act, regulation or fees notice, the report provides totals for fee groupings, as well as detailed information for each fee. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada did not have fees set contract, market rate or auction.

Although the fees 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 2021–22 is in our annual report to Parliament on the administration of the Access to Information Act.

Remissions

In 2021–22, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada was subject to the requirements to issue remissions under section 7 of the Service Fees Act and subsection 4.2.4 of the Treasury Board Directive on Charging and Special Financial Authorities to remit a fee, in whole or in part, to a fee payer when a service standard was deemed not met. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s remission policy and procedures, pursuant to the Service Fees Act, are on the following web page: Departmental Remission Policy Pursuant to the Service Fees Act.

In 2021–22, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada also issued remissions under its enabling legislation and under the Financial Administration Act. These remissions may have been for reasons other than not meeting a service standard.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s remission policy is on the following web page: Departmental Remission Policy Pursuant to the Service Fees Act.

Order‑in‑council PC numbers 2021-0396, 2021-0397, 2021-0398, 2021-0399 and 2021-0400 are on the following web page: Orders in Council.
