Advisory on New Schedule of Fees for Consular Services
VANCOUVER — Starting February 1, 2015 new fees will be collected for passports, travel documents, visas and other consular services of the Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver, as well as at its full-service consular outreach missions.
The new fees will be also collected by the Philippine Consular Office in Edmonton, Alberta, for visas and notarial services.
The new schedule of fees for all services is indicated below.
The adjustment in fees is the first since September 2007, and the first increase in passport fees since the Philippine machine-readable passport, and subsequently the biometric e-passport, were introduced in Canada.
The adjustments were made due to foreign exchange fluctuations and were determined based on a study by the Department of Foreign Affairs in the Philippines.
The adjustments are necessary to enable the Philippine Foreign Service in Canada to continue to provide quality and timely services to its clientele and extend its reach to underserved regions.
Increasing the passport fee will also help to ensure convenient travel for Filipinos through one of the most advanced passport systems available, which fully complies with international standards established for passport issuance.
