Expect institutional or registry charges for reissued records, secure delivery or courier costs, and possibly translation if a record is issued in another language. Amounts differ by institution and jurisdiction, so request each provider's current schedule rather than budgeting from a general figure.
Quote each record from its own issuer
A university's charge for a duplicate parchment is unrelated to a civil registry's charge for a certificate, and both are separate from translation charges. Ask each issuer what it charges, whether expedited handling exists, and how payment can be made from abroad, which can itself be an obstacle. If a document also needs translating, remember that translation and credential evaluation are different services with different prices.
The government charge is modest and is set out in the USCIS fee schedule, Form G-1055, for an employer petition, or collected at the port of entry for an in-person application. Confirm current government charges and professional scope without treating income as a substitute for eligibility. Check the current government fee source for the chosen Canadian port-of-entry or Form I-129 process rather than relying on an old estimate. The first review should say whether translation, evaluation, or licensing evidence is actually necessary.
