According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada,  Fees are going up for passports and other travel documents in Canada starting on March 31.

• Fees are going up by a few dollars, but some documents and scenarios will mean having to pay much more.

Officials said:

• The increase in fees is meant to keep pace with inflation and cover the cost of service delivery. The updated charges will be applied under the guidelines of the Service Fees Act.
• The update takes into consideration inflation and the rising costs of producing secure travel documents, as well as providing assistance to Canadians throughout the application process.

The Government of Canada says on its website:

• Canadians rely on secure, timely passport services when they need to travel. To continue delivering reliable service and keep pace with rising costs, most passport and travel document fees will increase on March 31, 2026.
