CANADA – Government Adjusts Fees for Temporary Resident Visas and Work Permits
Effective February 6th, 2014, the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has implemented new application fees for both single and multiple-entry temporary resident visas (TRV’s), work permits, and study permits.
More Details
The following governmental fees will be adjusted for new and renewed permits:
- Work Permit:
- Previous Fee – $150 CAD
- New Fee – $155 CAD
- Single and Multi-Entry Temporary Resident Visas:
- Previous Fee – $150 CAD
- New Fee – $100 CAD
- Study Permit:
- Previous Fee – $125 CAD
- New Fee – $150 CAD
- Visitors seeking to extend their stay:
- Previous Fee – $75 CAD
- New Fee – $100 CAD
Other Changes
Applicants will no longer have to specifically request consideration for multiple-entry visas; rather, they will be automatically considered. Citizens of certain countries may also be required to obtain a work permit in addition to a TRV, as a TRV only grants entrance to Canada, but does not permit them to take up employment in Canada.
