Fee Exemptions for Victims of Family Violence and Human Trafficking
The Government of Canada has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting vulnerable individuals by waiving fees for specific immigration documents for victims of family violence and human trafficking.
Under these public policies, eligible applicants can receive fee exemptions for:
- Temporary resident permits (TRPs)
- Open work permits
- Study permits
- Biometrics
These pathways provide victims with temporary legal status, allowing them to remain in Canada while accessing essential services such as healthcare, legal aid, and emergency support. By removing financial barriers, these measures ensure that vulnerable individuals can seek safety, regain stability, and work towards a secure future without the added burden of immigration-related fees.
