Canada Raises Passport Fees Effective March 31, 2026

On March 31, 2026, the Government of Canada implemented an increase in passport and travel document fees. The cost for a 10-year adult passport for Canadians living within Canada rose from CAD $160 to CAD $163.50.

For Canadians residing outside Canada, the fee increased from CAD $260 to CAD $266.25. Additionally, the fee for a 5-year adult passport for residents increased from CAD $120 to CAD $122.50, while those abroad will now pay CAD $194.25 instead of CAD $190.

Child passport fees also saw a rise, going from CAD $57 to CAD $58.50 for residents and from CAD $100 to CAD $102.50 for those outside. Other travel documents, including the adult certificate of identity and the adult refugee travel document, also experienced price adjustments.

The government cited inflation and the cost of delivering passport services as reasons for the increase, which will be reviewed and adjusted annually under the Service Fees Act.
