is it $15 now? it was still $10 cdn last time i went through YVR in april. You do not have to pay the AIF, however, if you are arriving to YVR or if you are connecting on the same day from another flight. Keep that in mind before you buy the AIF ticket b/c it's not obvious to people connecting. at least it wasn't obvious to me. :0

$15 for passengers travelling to destinations outside North America.
