Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has released regulations regarding changes in the some Government fees including the Permanent Residence (PR) fees, effective April 30, 2020 onwards.
A lot of Canadian Immigration Programs will be affected and the impact on each one of them is summarized as follows:
Visa Type | Applicant Type | Current Fee | From April 30, 2020 | Percentage increase |
A. Federal Express Entry Program ( Applicable across Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class and Canadian Experience Class ) | 1. Principal Applicant | CAD 550 | CAD 825 | |
2. Spouse or Common-Law partner | CAD 550 | CAD 825 | ||
3. Dependent Child | CAD 150 | CAD 225 | ||
B. Business Class (Applicable across Self-Employed Visa and Start-Up Visa) | 1. Principal Applicant | CAD 550 | CAD 825 | |
2. Spouse or Common-Law partner | CAD 550 | CAD 825 | ||
3. Dependent Child | CAD 150 | CAD 225 | ||
C. Family Class (Applicable for the sponsorship of a spouse/ common-law partner/ dependent child or parent / grandparent ) | All processing fee will remain same | |||
D. Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) | CAD 490 | CAD 500 |
Moreover, this particular increment in the immigration fees, starting from Apr 30, 2022, will continue to increase in every two years corresponding to Canadian inflation rate, which is approximately over 2 percent per year and 4 percent in the next 2 years and so on.
So to save yourself from the 27% increase starting from Apr 30, 2020, we highly recommend you to speed up your application and submit it before that day.
