Canada, which plans to complete a target of 432,000 Immigrants to be invited this year is already on hit this mark, as the country has welcomed 108,000 immigrants in the first three months of 2022. Now, Canada is here with an announcement about an increase in Canada Permanent Residence Fees, which will start effect from April 30th.
Generally, IRCC’s fees are comparatively low as in other countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. This increase in Canadian PR applications has happened after a long time since the last increase was made in 2002. The next fee is expected to be announced in 2024.
The fee increases will apply to the economic, permit holder, family, and humanitarian classes.
As of HelpOverseas, we assist with the following programs.
Program | Applicants | Current Fee | New Fee |
Right of Permanent Residence Fee | Principal applicant and accompanying spouse or common-law partner | $500 | $515 |
Federal High Skilled, Provincial Nominee Program and Quebec Skilled Workers, Atlantic Immigration Class and most Economic Pilots (Rural, Agri-Food) | Principal applicant | $825 | $850 |
Accompanying spouse or common-law partner | $825 | $850 | |
Accompanying dependent child | $225 | $230 |
On top of the application fees, you will even have to pay the $500 right of Canada permanent residence fee. This may be paid at the same time as the application, or when your application is approved. It is reserved just for those people who get approved for permanent residence and is refunded if an immigration application gets declined. However, it must be paid in order for permanent residency status to be activated.
The right of permanent residence fee does not apply to:
-the dependent children of a principal applicant or sponsor,
-sponsorship applications for adopted children,
-sponsorship applications for an orphaned brother, sister, niece, nephew or grandchild, or
-protected persons, including applicants eligible on humanitarian and compassionate grounds and convention refugees.
The fees for permanent resident cards, permanent resident travel documents, and certification or replacement immigration documents will not increase. These fee increases are to make sure that Canada remains competitive and in line with fees charged by other popular immigrant-receiving countries.
