Answer Notes
If you decide to change your existing call sign simply because you want a different one, such as upgrading to a specialized two-letter vanity call sign, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) charges a $60 administrative fee.
This fee applies because the change is entirely voluntary and cosmetic, requiring manual processing by the department. It is important to distinguish this optional $60 fee from mandatory call sign changes, like moving to a new province, which are processed for free.
