There are also fees for an amended certificate already issued and certified copy of an already issued certificate.

The Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office (CAVCO) of Canadian Heritage co-administers this program with the Canada Revenue Agency.

CAVCO is a Vote Netted Revenues organization. It had two objectives for originally establishing the fee structure:

  • To establish fees that would be simple and equitable for the entire audio-visual industry; and
  • To recover the cost of the services provided by CAVCO.

In 2004, CAVCO modified the user fee structure for the CPTC program to maintain service standards.
