[Attention] IC ID registration fee will be adjusted by 1.7% on April 1

IC ID registration fees in Canada will rise by 1.7%‌, effective ‌April 1, 2026‌, following a prior ‌2.7% increase on April 1, 2025‌, as announced during Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)'s October 2025 fee forecast meeting.

ISED certification is a mandatory market access requirement for wireless radio products in the Canadian market, and for telecom/terminal products that need to comply with the CS-03 standard. The increase in IC ID registration fees will directly affect the compliance costs of such products.

The detailed fee updates are as follows:

1. New Registration Fee: On April 1, 2026, Increases from ‌$804.14 to $817.81.

2.  Modification Fee: On April 1, 2026, increased from $402.07 to $408.91.

3. Additional tax information‌: Local Canadian applicants are required to pay applicable taxes according to their province or territory’s tax rates, which remain unchanged from previous years. ‌Non-Canadian businesses are exempt from these taxes‌ but must provide a ‌Canadian agent letter‌ to complete the IC ID  registration process.
