What is the fee for an Access request?
Each request filed under the Access to Information Act requires a $5.00 application fee. A requester can either pay by credit card using the online payment service within the ATIP Online Request tool, or by cheque or money order made payable to the Receiver General for Canada for requests by mail. There may also be additional fees if copying, computer processing or further search and preparation time is required. (The first five hours of search and preparation are free).
