Two fee components, different treatment
IRCC’s notice announced a right-of-citizenship fee increase for adult applications received from March 31, 2026. The announcement said the adult grant processing fee was unchanged. Read the current official fee table before paying.
Keep a payment preparation record
Write down the application type, fee page checked and date of review before preparing a payment. Keep the receipt separately from your score calculations. A fee announcement does not change a CRS score or establish that a person qualifies for citizenship.
