Starting January 1, 2026, service fees at Quebec's Ministry of Immigration will rise by 2.05%, reflecting the province's annual Consumer Price Index adjustment. This increase, mandated under the Quebec Immigration Act and Financial Administration Act, affects all immigration program fee structures and financial capacity requirements. However, international students are exempt from this indexation, as the financial resources required of them were substantially increased by regulatory amendments effective December 17, 2025. The Finance Ministry determines this rate annually to keep pace with Quebec's economic conditions.
