Fees receipt:

A fees receipt may be required for applications made in Canada. Consult your application guide.

You have two options to obtain a fees receipt:

1. Payment of fees on the Internet
   If you have Adobe® Acrobat Reader software, a printer, and a Visa, MasterCard or American Express credit card, you can pay your fees online.
2. Payment of fees at a financial institution in Canada
   If you cannot or do not wish to pay online, you must obtain an original receipt form IMM 5401 in order to pay at a financial institution. This form is not available on the website because an original receipt with a unique serial number must be used. You may order an original receipt by mail.
