Selected filing amounts from IRCC. See the table for the full citizenship fee list.
The adult total contains two charges
IRCC lists CAD 530 for standard adult processing and CAD 123 for the right-of-citizenship component. Those figures add to the CAD 653 standard adult total. The fee report treats the two components as separate lines and records separate service standards. Source 1 Source 2
The right-of-citizenship fee changed in March 2026
The fee report shows that the right-of-citizenship charge rose from CAD 119.75 to CAD 123 on 31 March 2026. The adult processing charge stayed at CAD 530. The report lists another scheduled adjustment of the right-of-citizenship charge to CAD 125.25 on 31 March 2027. Source 2
The minor and stateless adult fees cover different things
The CAD 100 listed for a minor is a processing charge. The CAD 123 category for a stateless adult born to a Canadian parent is listed as the right-of-citizenship fee. That route has its own eligibility and differs from the standard adult grant application. Source 1
A record search and proof application cost the same
The fee list prices a citizenship certificate and a citizenship record search at CAD 75 each. It separately prices resuming citizenship at CAD 530 for an adult and CAD 100 for a minor. Renunciation is listed at CAD 100. Source 1
