    What costs? My biggest expense was the $80US for overnight fedex. Add $20 for citizen photos and 1 barely broke a c note.

      We had a lawyer help us with the documentation to make sure it’s airtight, but that cost is optional. Other than that we had costs for each record we requested - both in the US and Canada. The cost to request a formal birth record from Quebec alone (via the BANQ) recently went from $30 to over $300

      Overall it’s nothing crazy as far as immigration is concerned, but it’s not nothing

        Well shit, glad I got mine in early. I would agree with the sentiment of “costs skyrocketing.”
