For some people in Canada, travelling to the U.S. has become significantly more expensive as the new Visa Integrity Fee takes effect this month. On Oct. 1, the U.S. government introduced the Visa Integrity Fee, which affects non-citizens in Canada who require a visa to travel to the U.S. "The Visa Integrity Fee requires cross-agency coordination before implementation." The Visa Integrity Fee takes effect at the start of fiscal year 2025, which runs from Oct. 1, 2025, to Sept. 30, 2026. The Visa Integrity Fee is one of many changes the U.S. announced this year.
