Do the Canadian authorities levy processing fees to evaluate an application for permanent residence?
Applications for permanent residence must include the appropriate non-refundable processing fees for applicants and their accompanying dependants. For applicants applying under the skilled worker program the application fee is currently set at $500 CAD for each adult. As well, a Right Of Landing Fee of $975 CAD is levied for each person who is at least 19 years of age applying for permanent residence. Processing fees must be filed with the applications. Right Of Landing fees must be filed prior to visa issuance. Applicants are encouraged to verify with local missions for applicable post specific payment procedures.
