Make sure that you are eligible to apply before you pay your fees and that you provide all the information requested when you submit your application. The processing fee will not be refunded, regardless of the final decision on your application. For example, a determination that you are not eligible for a temporary resident visa is considered as “processing” and the fee will not be refunded. If you apply again, you will have to pay another processing fee.
Paying the fees
Contact the website of the visa office responsible for your area, for information on fees and methods of payments. Visa offices cannot accept fee payment receipts from banks in Canada.
Note: Personal cheques are not acceptable methods of payment.
