Fees


Youth Mobility Programs (working holidays): The information below does not apply to Youth Mobility Programs. These programs require a 'Participation Fee'. This is a separate fee NOT linked to this visa office and paid in an entirely different way. For more information consult the Youth Mobility Programs section.

Processing fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application.

Methods of Payment

  1. Applications mailed to our office or dropped off in our drop box

    The fees accompanying a Permanent Residence application must be paid using a Bank Draft / Bank Cheque in Canadian dollars. Do not send cash.

    The fees accompanying a Study Permit, Work Permit, Temporary Resident Visa or Permanent Resident Travel Document application must be paid using a Bank Draft / Bank Cheque in Canadian dollars or a postal order in British pounds.
  2. Applications made in person at our office

    The fee accompanying applications made in person at our office for Temporary Resident Visas or Permanent Resident Travel Documents can be paid in cash in Canadian dollars or in British pounds. The exact amount is required because no change is given. You may also pay by bank draft in Canadian dollars or by postal order in British pounds.

Payment by Bank Draft, Bank Cheque or Postal Order

A bank draft / bank cheque is a cheque issued by a bank payable to a person, in this case the Receiver General for Canada. The name of the Canadian bank that will pay the Receiver General for Canada will be written on the cheque.

The bank draft, bank cheque or postal order should be made payable to the: RECEIVER GENERAL FOR CANADA

Write your name and address on the reverse of your bank draft.

In some countries, banks provide the service of forwarding your bank draft / bank cheque directly to this office. Please ensure that this is not done and that your fee accompanies your application. If your application is received at this office without the processing fee attached, it will be returned to you.

Important: Bank drafts / bank cheques have limited validity. Ensure that your bank draft / bank cheque is not older than two months when it reaches this office.
