  1. I don't think so but they may foot the bill for any official ceremonies held there.


  2. The only money the Queen gets from Canada is when she is representing Canada. Last time she visited the US it was paid for by Canada as she was there more as Queen of Canada then as Queen of the UK.

  3. Nothing. Canada is only responsible for the costs incurred (royal residences, state visits, lieutenants) inside Canada.

  4. Contrary to common misconception, Canadians do not pay any money to the Queen, either for personal income or to support the royal residences outside of Canada. Only when the Queen is in Canada, or acting abroad as Queen of Canada, does she draw from Canadian coffers for support in the performance of her duties. This rule applies equally to other members of the Royal Family. Usually the Queen's Canadian governments pay only for the costs associated with the Governor General and Lieutenant Governors in their exercising of the powers of the Crown on behalf of the Queen, including travel, security, residences, offices, ceremonial occasions, etc.

    Provincial and federal records of expenditures associated with the Crown are kept, but no official report on the cost of the monarchy to Canadians is compiled. However, every three years the Monarchist League of Canada issues a survey, based on various federal and provincial government budgets, expenditures and estimates, that outlines a yearly cost for the functioning of the Crown. The 2005 survey found that the institution cost Canadians roughly $49 million in 2004.

  5. Canada does not give the queen a dime

    Where did any one get the notion that the Canada pays for the queen 's visit to the USA
