Fee change for minors applying for Canadian CitizenshipDo you have questions? Talk to one of our Settlement Workers!

Since June 19, 2017, minors can apply for a grant of citizenship on their own behalf. On February 14, 2018, the Government of Canada announced changes to the fee schedule to lower the processing fees for minors applying for Canadian Citizenship bringing them from $530 to $100. Minors who applied on or after June 19, 2017, and paid the $530 application fee will be refunded $430.

If you are/know a minor that will apply or, applied after June 19, 2017, contact us at 647-776-2057 and one of our Settlement Workers will guide you.
