Processing fees must be paid when the application is submitted. Applications submitted without the correct fees will be returned to the applicant.
The payment (or receipt) must be attached to the application form.
Fees are subject to change at any time. Refer to the fee schedule for current rates. Just before paying, check this webpage again for up-to-date information. The visa offices do not accept fees payments in amounts other than those shown in the Fee Schedule.
Do not use personal cheques or credit cards: No Canadian visa office in the US accepts personal cheques or credit cards.
Do not send receipts as proof of payment: We do not accept the payment of fees on-line nor receipts of fees paid in Canada.
Do not send cash via mail – the office is not responsible for such funds.
Payment must be in Canadian or U.S. dollars only. No other currency will be accepted. Also, the entire fee must be submitted in one currency; do not send part of the fee in US dollars and part in Canadian dollars.
A receipt will be issued for each payment received. Please keep the receipt as proof of payment.
Processing fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application.
Multiple entry visa: If you plan to visit Canada multiple times in the near future (for example on business or to visit family), you should consider applying for a multiple entry temporary resident visa. You may be granted a visa valid for up to 5 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
