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.
