Canadian immigration fees will be increased after April 30th

On April 30, Canada will raise the fees for all permanent residence applications. Economic, permit holder, family, and humanitarian classes will all see fee rises. For the first time since 2002, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) increased permanent residence 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. The details are in the pictures. 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 fees. This can be paid at the same time as your application or after it has been approved. 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.
