Canada To Increase Passport and Travel Document Fees for 2026

Key Point  

• Canada will increase passport and travel document fees beginning March 31, 2026.  

Passport and Travel Document Fees 

Canada announced that passport and travel document fees will increase on March 31, 2026, marking the first adjustment in more than two years.  

Examples of Updated Fees 

• 10‑year adult passport (in Canada): CAD $160 increase to $163.50 
• 5‑year adult passport (in Canada): CAD $120 increases to $122.50 
• 10‑year adult passport (outside Canada): CAD $260 increases to $266.25 
• 5‑year adult passport (outside Canada): CAD $190 increases to $194 

Impact on Applicants 

• Individuals planning to renew or apply for a passport should consider submitting applications before March 31 to avoid higher fees. 
• Applicants submitting on or after the effective date must pay the new, indexed fee amounts. 
• IRCC notes that fees will continue to rise annually, so long‑term planning may help reduce costs for frequent travelers or those with upcoming renewals. 

The changes are intended to reflect inflation and rising service‑delivery costs and will apply to applications submitted on or after March 31.
