Passport fees: keep travel documents in the planning budget

Background to the March 2026 notice; passport fees and visa fees are separate checks.

Official announcement: · Source reviewed: 2026-11-04

What the announcement covers

IRCC’s notice announced changes to most Canadian passport and travel-document fees from March 31, 2026. It concerns those travel documents, rather than the visa fees charged by another destination. Check the current official fee page for the document you need.

Create two separate budget rows

Keep passport or travel-document costs separate from visa, permit and travel-authorization costs. Record the official page and review date beside each item. The new visa library links to destination authorities so you can verify the relevant application route before planning payment.
