Submitting a Paper Application to IRCC through a VAC:

IRCC only accepts online applications for most immigration programs, but there are some exceptions. In some cases, you may even be able to submit a paper application (with or without biometrics) to IRCC through a VAC. Submitting a paper application through a VAC requires paying the Assisted Service - Paper Application service fee.

For your IRCC application and biometrics:

Government of Canada fees for your application can be paid online through IRCC’s website or at the VAC. Find out how to pay these fees here:

Note: You can’t get a partial or full refund of Government of Canada fees at the VAC. A refund can only be requested by visiting IRCC and submitting a refund request. Find out more here:

• Moving your documents, such as your passport, between IRCC and the VAC where you gave your biometrics

This means that if you give your biometrics at a VAC, you also get one package transmission service. This service will cover sending your documents from the VAC where you gave biometrics to IRCC and, once IRCC has made a decision on your application, back to the VAC.

For any refund of fees paid to the Government of Canada, please

to request a refund from the Government of Canada.

There are some exceptions. Read carefully to see if these apply to you:

1. If you have already used your one included package transmission, you will need to pay the Package Transmission service fee to send any additional documents to IRCC.

2. If you enrolled your biometrics at one VAC location and submit your documents at a different VAC location, you will need to pay the Package Transmission service fee. The service fee is only waived if you submit your documents at the same VAC location where you gave your biometrics.

3. If you do not need to provide biometrics, you will need to pay the Package Transmission service fee to send your documents to IRCC through a VAC.

If you are travelling through Canada on your way to a different country, you may need to apply for a Transit Visa and give your biometrics. However, you will not have to pay the Government of Canada biometrics fee. Since you are not paying the biometrics fee, you will need to pay the Package Transmission service fee to send your documents to IRCC through a VAC.
