Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s (CIC) Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) fees have not increased for almost two decades. The modest fee increases are long overdue and will ensure that applicants pay a fee that more accurately represents the true costs involved in processing their applications and will reduce the burden on Canadian taxpayers.
At the same time, CIC will be reducing the fee for a multiple-entry visa from CAD $150 to CAD $100. The multiple-entry visa makes it easier and more convenient for eligible travellers to visit Canada more frequently.
As this chart indicates, the new TRV fees will be in line with those charged by peer countries, including the United States (U.S.A.), the United Kingdom (UK), New Zealand (NZ) and Australia (AU).
All fees shown in CAD equivalent as of November 22, 2013
