Paying the fees

Consult the Instruction guide or the Fees section of our website to calculate your fees.

For payment in Canadian dollars:

Because exchange rates vary, fees must be paid by bank draft, in Canadian dollars, drawn on a bank in Canada, and which will clear there. Make the draft payable to “The Receiver General for Canada”. Write your name and address on the back.

Make sure that you have sent the correct type of bank draft; otherwise, your application will be returned to you. Do not enclose cash.

For payment in local currency (Reais):

Pay by certified cheque or direct deposit only. For direct deposit, go to any of the HSBC Bank branches in Brazil (www.hsbc.com.br) and make a cash deposit into the following account:

Consulate General of Canada in Sao Paulo
Branch number: 1888
Account number: 00116-05

You must know the Brazilian real amount to be deposited before you go to the bank. Payment must be made before you submit your application. Please retain your deposit slip and include the original with your application.
