Good to know
- Fees are charged per person or per application, as shown. Most applications are paid online by credit, prepaid or Visa Debit / Debit Mastercard card; the card doesn’t have to be in your name.
- If you withdraw before processing starts, you get a full refund. After that, the right of permanent residence fee is the only fee IRCC can refund.
- Not included: costs paid to others, such as medical exams, police certificates, language tests and translations.
- Biometrics cost $85 for one person, or $170 at most for a family of 2 or more applying at the same time (spouse or partner and dependent children).
