Canadian Work Visa

I just got my letter of Approval for a Canadian Working
Holiday Visa (which cost me nothing) but someone told me
I'll be slugged for a hundred bucks or so at the airport to
actually get the stamp in my passport. Is this true?
There's nothing about it on the literature I got from the
Canadian Consulate. Has anyone done this before?
(PS: I'm an Australian)

    never heard of a fee at the airport. the consulate would have collected it if one were applicable.
    don't take my word as gospel, but i do know more than the average clown on the net. i have worked in the visa office of a canadian embassy.

    Confirm what mikey is saying.
    I went over from Australia and had no additional cost
    That was 2 years ago and the reciprocal agreement between
    Canada and Australia hasnt changed as far as I know.
    I think someones yanking your chain!

    There is NO additional cost when you hit the airport. I
    flew into Canada on the weekend (on an Aussie passport) and
    my work visa was a lot easier to get than I thought - they
    didn't even ask to see proof of funds - wow, what a
    relief!!!## Just show your Letter of Approval and you'll
    be right.
    P.S. have a bank statement or proof of funds ready just in
    case.
