Ottawa will raise key immigration fees this spring as it adjusts charges for inflation and program costs.

As of March 31, 2026, the right of citizenship fee for adults will increase from $3.25 to $123, while the $530 processing fee for adult citizenship grants remains the same.

A second increase follows on April 30, 2026, affecting permanent residence programs, including the right of permanent residence fee ($600) and higher rates for provincial nominees, business applicants, family class, protected persons, humanitarian cases, and permit holders.
