Costco Canada announced it would increase membership fees this fall, but how much do Canadians pay compared to shoppers worldwide?

According to the company's July sales report, the warehouse chain now operates 884 locations internationally and reported global net sales of $19.26 billion USD.

As the retailer continues to expand, we examined the cost of membership at Costco locations in different countries.

Even with the Gold Star membership set to increase to $65 CAD (from $60 CAD) and the Executive membership set to go up to $130 CAD (from $120 CAD) on September 1, membership fees at Costco Canada are certainly not the priciest compared to other countries.

A Costco Executive membership in the U.S. is by far the most expensive at $164.23 CAD per year, while a Gold Star membership in Mexico only costs $36.73 CAD. But even more affordable than that is the online shopping membership option for U.K. shoppers, at just $26.54 CAD annually.
