Fees Receipt
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 on-line.
2. Payment of fees at a financial institution in Canada
  If you cannot or do not wish to pay on-line, you must obtain an original receipt form IMM 5401 in order to pay at a financial institution. This form is not available on the Web site because an original receipt with a unique serial number must be used. You may order an original receipt by mail.

If you cannot view and print this application from this Web site we can mail it to you. Place an order for an application if you need it mailed. Be certain that you need this application before placing an order. The delivery of this application may take several weeks. The Fees Receipt will be included and does not have to be ordered separately.
