移民部长亚历山大指出,在单次及多次入境签证费用调整至相同后,每个申请单次签证的人士,均将自动被移民官考虑发给多次入境签证,只要条件合格,即会被发给多次签证。他认为,加拿大的签证费用,比美国、英国、澳洲及纽西兰均低很多,相信有助吸引更多外国旅客选择到加拿大旅游、留学或工作。
移民部提供的资料显示,加拿大单次或多次签证费用为100元,美国则为169元外加作业费,英国为137元,澳洲125元,纽西兰为142元。
在学生签证收费方面,加拿大现在是125元,6日增加25元至150元,美国169元外加作业费,英国245元,澳洲516元,纽西兰232元。
在工作签证收费方面,加拿大现在是150元,6日增加5元至155元,美国为200元加作业费,英国342元,澳洲347元,纽西兰为232元(纸张申请),198元(网上申请)。
移民部说,每年均有3500万外国人次到访加拿大,2012年时,移民部发出100万张短期居留签证(TRV),较2004年增加40%。
多次入境签证主要针对中国、印度及墨西哥等持有10年有效期护照的国家人士所发出,他们最多能得到10年期签证,而从菲律宾或巴西来的旅客,则由于这两个国家只发5年期签证,所以他们签证最多也只有5年有效期。
临时居留签证费 调降至100元
(世界日报)联邦移民部3日宣布,从2月6日起,临时居留(TRV)签证费,无论是单次或多次进出,将由原本150元统一调降为100元。
移民部并表示,同日起,移民部会自动考量给予前来加拿大的访客多次签证,以便符合资格的访客在最高十年效期内,每次有六个月期间得以多次进出加国。
移民部指出,单次及多次临时居留签证费用统一为100元,可简化申请及作业流程,让更多符合资格的游客得以多次进出加拿大,有助於促进本国旅游业及经贸。
不过,移民部3日也公布,2月6日起,调增临时居留的申请费用,以反映作业成本
●申请或更新学习签证,增加25元。

February 3, 2014—Ottawa—Office of Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister—Visitors to Canada will automatically be considered for a multiple-entry visa, starting on February 6, 2014. Multiple-entry visas allow qualified visitors to come and go from Canada for six months at a time for up to 10 years without having to reapply each time.
The fee for the temporary resident visa (TRV) program will now be reduced from $150 to $100 for the processing of either a single- or multiple-entry visa.
By harmonizing the single- and multiple-entry visa fees, the visa application process will become simpler for applicants and promote tourism and trade by increasing the number of eligible travellers who are able to make multiple visits to Canada.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada will increase other fees in the temporary resident program, effective February 6, 2014. These changes will reduce the burden on Canadian taxpayers and ensure that fees closely reflect the real cost of processing applications.
These increases include (all figures in CAD $):
$25 for study permits and renewals;
$5 increase for work permits and renewals;
$25 increase for extensions to remain in Canada as a visitor;
$100 as the maximum fee for a family to apply for TRVs; and
$15 as the maximum work permit fee for a group of performing artists and their staff.
Quick facts
Every year more than 35 million people visit Canada.
In 2012, Canada issued a record number of visitor visas with almost one million visas approved, representing an increase of almost 40 percent since 2004.
The multiple-entry visa is particularly popular with visitors from China, India and Mexico who hold 10-year passports and have been eligible to apply for a 10-year visa.
Similarly, visitors from the Philippines and Brazil, who hold five-year passports, have been issued multiple-entry visas for up to five years.
