Difference between revisions of "How to Apply for a Citizenship Grant (17:VI)"

The fee is $630 for an adult grant. This amount includes a $530 processing fee and a $100 Right of Citizenship fee. The fee for children under 18 is only the $100 processing fee. The processing fee is not refundable unless the applicant withdraws his or her application before processing begins. The Right of Citizenship fee is refundable if the applicant is not approved for citizenship. Fees change regularly. The most recent information about applicable fees may be obtained from the IRCC website (see Section II.B: Resources); see also the Citizenship Regulations, SOR/93-246 in which the fees are proscribed.

If you go to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website, there is a useful fee list, which may be used to determine the applicable fees for all applicants: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp

'''Note:''' In January 2019, a Federal Court in Ottawa (Tammy Lynn Mayes and Justice for Children and Youth  v The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration)  ruled that a Minister may exercise discretion and waive the applicable processing fees to alleviate cases of statelessness or of special and unusual hardship or to reward services of an exceptional value to Canada.
