Fees in Canada are frequently less expensive than in similar nations such as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
On April 30, Canada will raise the fees for all permanent residency applications.
Economic, permit holder, family, and humanitarian classes will all see cost rises.
For the first time since 2002, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) increased permanent residency costs to account for inflation in 2020. IRCC declared at the time that it will raise costs every two years to keep up with inflation. All figures are in Canadian dollars.

You may also be required to pay a $500 right of permanent residency charge in addition to these application expenses. This can be paid at the same time as your application or after it has been accepted. It is only given to persons who are granted permanent residency and is repaid if an immigration application is denied. It must, however, be paid before permanent resident status may be activated.
The fee for obtaining a permanent residency permit 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.
Permanent resident cards, permanent resident travel papers, and certification or replacement immigration documents will not have their rates raised.
Canada supports a cost-effective strategy to government programme funding, in which the majority of expenses are funded by people who use the services, rather than taxpayers.
These cost hikes are intended to keep Canada competitive and in line with rates levied by other countries that receive immigrants. Fees in Canada are frequently less expensive than in similar nations such as Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In two years, fees are scheduled to rise by the appropriate Consumer Price Index increase, rounded to the nearest $5. In 2024, the federal government is likely to announce the next fee hike.
