Simple, transparent pricing
One flat fee. No hourly charges. No surprises. The difference between the two options is time, clarity, and who carries the work, which matters even more for U.S.-based families coordinating records from a distance.

Separate costs — both routes
Government & third-party fees

All third-party fees are paid directly to the relevant government office or service provider — not to North Citizen.
Common questions
What people want to know before moving forward
What is included in the North Citizen service fee?
The service fee covers the review of the family line, document mapping, archive strategy, CIT 0001 support, lineage explanation support where needed, and final package review.
What costs are paid separately?
The current IRCC proof-of-citizenship fee is $75 CAD. Archive fees, photos, courier, and any third-party translations or notarizations are separate costs.
Why do people choose help instead of doing it themselves?
DIY can save the service fee, but it still leaves the applicant to interpret the rules, order the records, and manage the package without a second set of eyes. That is often where U.S.-based families decide they would rather have a clearer plan before requesting records.
